  • Own roadmap execution and ensure transparency through detailed milestone tracking and reporting.

  • Analyze user feedback, QA insights, and market data to inform strategic direction and product decisions.

  • Maintain vendor relationships, negotiate contracts, and oversee outsourced development where applicable.

  • Drive alignment between executive leadership and production teams with clear, actionable communications.



Qualifications

  • Demonstrated success managing cross-functional teams and large-scale initiatives using Agile methodologies.

  • Skilled at navigating both technical and creative challenges in fast-paced development pipelines.

  • Strong knowledge of production tooling (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Asana), as well as BI tools and product analytics.

  • Ability to translate complex ideas into clear strategies, timelines, and tasks across technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Familiarity with immersive tech (VR/AR), game engines (Unity, Unreal), or spatial computing is a plus.



Nice to Have

  • Experience in mobile development, AI or Web3-based products.

  • Familiarity with compliance and safety standards in product development.

  • Background in launching platform features or SaaS tools.

You must be based within Florida for this role and have individual work authorisation (Not through an employer).
