What does day-to-day life in your role look like?

My schedule starts with a regular product team catch-up to discuss important updates from the previous or current day. The rest of the day varies from stakeholder meetings, analysing user behaviour and engaging with customers, exploring, planning and prioritising new ideas for product development and improvement. 

What would you say is the most interesting aspect of your role?

It’s a dynamic and exciting role with a focus on learning, communication, exploration, planning, and prioritising and having the best colleagues.
