A day in the life

You must be responsive, detail oriented, and flexible to handle change. You are right a lot, able to see around corners, and comfortable with ambiguity. You have the ability to work with new and new-to-world concepts and creating user stories that are easily digestible. You go back and forth easily with high level strategies across categories, while diving deep to learn the nuances of specific product launches. You think like the customer, representing them in all meetings you attend. You obsess to get the small details right that matter, without sacrificing speed to market. You have backbone, and disagree and commit by being the voice of the customer in internal reviews.
