• Guide problem scoping and discovery across multiple functional areas, drive requirements synthesis, and facilitate prioritization to discover how Wayfair should invest in capabilities that drive the highest impact business outcomes.
• Deeply understand the technology used in your products, the strong and weak points, and become an expert at what is available in market
• Test and learn, fail fast, and take the winners to market. Rapidly iterate, gather the needed data, interpret it, and then take action to course correct
• You will act with a high degree of freedom and ownership, creating strong relationships with senior cross-functional partners (both technical and non-technical), establishing a shared vision for success, and delivering results that create meaningful business impact.
