• Driving the tradeoffs between usability, Go To Market (GTM) lead time, features scope, technical debt/investment (i.e. across UX/PM/Tech/GTM) to maximize value for our customers and Cognite
• Drive end-to-end alignment from sales to delivery, security, and support
• Managing internal and external dependencies arising from end-to-end alignment
• Managing budgeting and resource needs
