Responsibilities for this role include:

Own the product vision for several key areas of Lightyear’s platform
Engage with the customer and sales to define and optimize requirements for features
Coordinate with engineering on feasibility, sprint planning, and shipping product
Create a first-class UI / UX experience (with help from internal design resources)
Help define the short, medium, and long term roadmap
