This advocacy will extend both internally, ensuring all teams understand the customer perspective, and externally, through presentations and engagement with industry forums and clients.
• Beyond specific product responsibilities, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of our product management practices. This includes sharing knowledge, mentoring peers, and actively participating in the development of organizational best practices, ensuring Cision remains at the forefront of product management excellence.
