As “product CEOs,” we partner cross-functionally with nearly every team to ensure high end-user satisfaction and drive business results. Our team, diverse in professional and educational backgrounds (from product marketing managers to consumer-focused engineers), shares one common goal: to deliver a 5-star experience for every customer on every product we bring to market.

• Assist in the definition and development of product specifications relating to replacement components, marrying consumer wants/needs and creating efficiencies in how these components are managed in internal systems.
• Develop user-relevant design targets for product performance and user experience (human factors, touchpoints, KPIs, and Consumer Satisfaction Indicators).
• Act as the beacon of these targets to the cross-functional team of engineers, industrial designers, and commercial marketers.
• Act as a product “expert” for cross-functional team member questions and concerns.
• Assist with new product setups and product information management.
