- Analyze product and market performance, hypothesize, test, and continuously improve product metrics with a China-specific lens.
- Develop product features from ideation to release, factoring in local payment methods, super-app integrations (WeChat, Alipay), and regulatory requirements specific to China.
- Build local partnerships and relationships (venues, promoters, platforms) that inform and unlock product opportunities.
- Build and communicate a compelling vision and go-to-market strategy for Fever in China, gathering support from both local stakeholders and global leadership.
- Serve as the primary point of expertise on China-specific product, partnership, regulatory, and localization decisions.
