• Building for the user. You care about the user and always build with them in mind.
• Offering clarity when encountering complexity. You can get to the heart of the matter quickly, and you share your insights openly.
• Identifying the problem to solve. Once you've identified what needs to be achieved, you will relentlessly remind all players of that goal, so we can celebrate when we reach it.
• Scoping projects wisely. You can draw strong boundaries to ensure the value delivered matches the investment required.
• Fostering AI excellence and creativity. You cultivate the expertise we need to make Strava an industry leader in Fitness AI Technology.

• You have proven yourself to be a skilled AI product manager, leading AI/ML product lifecycles, including model development, training, deployment, evaluation.
• You have honed an outstanding ability to distill complex problems into actionable insights.
• You are an exceptional communicator, at ease in technical, tactical, and strategic conversations. You can effectively articulate the relevance of technical AI/ML concepts for any audience.
