This role is a great fit if you are

A Senior Technical Product Owner / Product Manager with engineering roots
A former engineer or tech lead who moved into product leadership

You don’t need to code every day, but you must understand the codebase, system design, and technical trade-offs well enough to make independent decisions and guide the team.
