I only know being a product guy on small teams. To me, my role as a "product guy" is to keep the whole product and it's intricate details in my brain. I work with the CEO and the Head of Engineering to set the direction for what we're working on today or next. I take in all the feedback from our metrics, our customers, team members, and the boss to decide what's the next most important thing we should build. I push back on business needs when our scope starts to grow too big. I push back on the engineering team when we don't complete work in a satisfactory way. I'm responsible for the success or failure of the product. I enjoy the job, but it's not something I would consider easy. It's not something where I spend a lot of time looking busy and doing nothing. I could. That would make me a bad product guy. There are many ways to skin a cat. The difference between a bad product guy and a good product guy is that the good one finds a better way to skin a cat. A good product guy improves the lives of all the stakeholders in the product.
