- ✓Proven ability to manage platform products consumed by multiple internal teams

Reading between the lines
- The mention of 'navigating dependencies' and 'competing priorities' suggests a complex internal matrix where you will need to negotiate heavily for resources.
- The requirement to balance 'platform investment' with 'near-term needs' implies a constant tension between long-term technical debt/scalability and immediate sales demands.
