• Lead and inspire the rest of the México team to deliver product goals and OKRs by setting team objectives that support the company's strategy.

• Collaborate with engineering to prioritize tasks, ensuring efficient and high-quality delivery.

• Report back to the leadership team and stakeholders that oversee México’s progress.
