• Support workflow discussions and solution design.
• Work closely with Engineering during development and implementation.

• Perform functional testing alongside Engineering.
• Ensure delivered functionality meets customer and business requirements.
• Communicate feature readiness, timelines, and release updates to Customer Success.

• Act as the product subject matter expert during strategic customer discussions.
• Help evaluate implementation approaches.
• Translate customer feedback into actionable product improvements.
• Support complex client implementations requiring product expertise.

Continuous Product Improvement

• Monitor customer feedback and adoption trends.
• Identify opportunities to improve usability, workflows, and platform capabilities.
• Recommend enhancements that increase scalability and reduce implementation effort.
• Contribute to long-term product vision and roadmap planning.
