- Partner with cross-functional partners to research, document, and deeply understand what Terminal customers need to enable an excellent in person payments experience.

- Deeply research and understand the competitive landscape and translate that understanding into differentiating features for your product suite.
- Collaborate with the Partnerships team to develop a compelling roadmap for how we can extend Terminal growth via third-party hardware partnerships and clearly communicate the business value of these partnerships in the context of our wider Terminal Hardware roadmap to gain alignment across Terminal and Stripe leadership.
- Use metrics to inform your point of view and leverage analytics to measure success.
- Define product requirements, provide clear guidance on prioritization, and support decisions related to development sequencing. You will also participate in sprint planning rituals to deliver against those requirements and the overall roadmap.
- Leverage your technical knowledge and experience to help your team make technical trade off decisions.
