product manager
Roadmap decision maker
A product manager oversees the development and strategy of a product, bridging the gap between engineering, design, and business teams.
They define what gets built and why, prioritizing features based on user needs and company goals.
The role varies widely by company—some product managers focus on technical specifications, others on market positioning: She's the product manager for our mobile app.
