You will gather customer feedback and convey market needs to inform the Product roadmap and provide insights that strengthen our value proposition and enhance the customer experience

  • Bring chaos to clarity: Simplifying complex situations into digestible customer-ready stories and materials using Canva’s worksuite (presentations, doc etc.)
