This includes conducting market research, synthesizing findings, and developing critical insights into our evolving competitive landscape, assessing relative strengths and weaknesses, and working with senior team members to propose recommendations that shape product and commercial strategy. You will also help drive the execution of strategic investments, analyze, forecast, and operationalize high-priority strategic initiatives, and partner with the business to track and refine actionable paths forward.
