The customer is the ultimate aligner. If you're able to show your proximity to the customer via surveys, research, and interactions you'll have more influence in strategic conversations. Build a bench of customer intelligence to help the company make decisions that are both good for the target audience, and for the business... this is the critical area to invest in to become the strategic growth lever the business needs, and is always lacking intelligence on.

How do we get our product management team to be more customer focused than timeline focused?What is an effective way to position myself with a background in brand-side insights, PMM for 3.5 years? Proving harder than I'd thought.I see Product Marketing Manager roles with similar job descriptions and responsibilities and some say 'entry level' and others 'mid-senior level'.

Also, what are the pros and cons of being an individual contributor vs managing a team. Im currently the only PMM in the company and there is a lot of work to do.
