• You run CDK like its own business. You're measured on outcomes, not output – adoption, conversion, expansion, and reliability, not specs written or features shipped – and you're the single point of accountability for those numbers across Legal, Engineering, Design, GTM, and Customer Success. • Grow CDK as a product line. Own its arc from configuration tool to the compliance platform others build on, and the adoption, revenue, and expansion that prove it. What you build, defer, and kill is judged against that outcome, not a feature backlog. • Land new verticals. Turn the regulation-agnostic engine into shipped revenue in new categories – AI, regulated commerce, whatever's next – by building primitives that generalize instead of one-offs per customer. • Define the primitive. Identify the core abstractions that make CDK genuinely differentiated (permission strings, jurisdictional rule engines, consent orchestration) and partner with engineering to build them. • Run the pod, not just the roadmap. You own the "what" and the "why," then you own the build – the cadence, the unblocking, the in-the-weeds calls with engineering, not a deck you hand off. Pure strategists who delegate execution won't last here; neither will pure executors who don't want to own the bet. • Keep it unbreakable at scale. CDK enforces compliance for tens of millions of users; staying correct as the law shifts underneath is an outcome you own *with* engineering, not a problem you hand to them.
