• Conduct audience and market sizing, competitive scans, and product-market fit analysis.
• Validate assumptions through qualitative and quantitative research.
• Identify highest-value opportunities for new revenue, engagement, and member impact.

Drive Early-Stage Product Development

• Apply a structured new product development process (NPDP) to refine concepts into viable business cases.
• Define use cases, value propositions, business models, and recommended pricing/packaging.
• Translate ambiguous ideas into clear, well-structured product briefs and decision frameworks.

Shape Go-to-Market Direction

• Develop positioning recommendations, launch-readiness frameworks, and channel strategies.
• Support internal teams in preparing for future release cycles, roadmaps, and enablement.

Provide Project Management Support

• Coordinate cross-departmental workflows to ensure timely progress on non-curriculum deliverables.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and resource needs to accelerate execution readiness.

Deliver Portfolio-Level Impact

• Produce clear, executive-ready documentation evaluating viability, strategic fit, revenue potential, and long-term opportunity.
• Build a consolidated set of recommended product pathways for AVIXA’s 2026 education portfolio.

• Validated concepts with clearly defined audiences, pricing models, and market fit.
• Business cases and recommendations grounded in research and data.
• Launch-readiness plans and execution frameworks that AVIXA teams can activate in 2026.
• A prioritized portfolio of education product opportunities with strategic packaging for revenue and engagement growth.

About You
