• Support business sponsors as they assess expected ROI, value drivers, adoption assumptions, and operational impacts

• Partner with Product Owners to ensure discovery outputs are clear enough to support estimation, roadmap planning, backlog creation, and delivery handoff

• Define adoption considerations early, including business process changes, user behavior changes, training needs, stakeholder readiness, and ownership after launch

• Help ensure funded solutions are designed not only to be delivered, but to be used, adopted, measured, and sustained

• Demonstrated ability to partner with business stakeholders to define problems, map workflows, identify value drivers, and shape technology-enabled solutions

• Experience working with data, architecture, engineering, security, platform, and/or AI/ML teams to assess feasibility and solution options

• Ability to understand whether required data exists, where it lives, how usable it is, and how data quality, governance, or access may affect solution feasibility

• Strong facilitation, communication, and executive presence, with the ability to influence without direct authority

• Demonstrated ability to challenge assumptions, push back constructively while maintaining stakeholder trust

• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills, with the ability to connect business needs, data assets, AI capabilities, technical constraints, and adoption requirements
