- Own scope trade-offs between product vision and delivery capacity, making prioritization calls when needed
- Create clear, actionable requirements, epics, and other specifications that guide engineering execution
- Map and document user workflows, data flows, and system dependencies to ensure a full-stack understanding of product behavior
- Define and track success metrics, gathering feedback and iterating quickly to improve outcomes
- Partner with technical program management and engineering leadership to keep the backlog aligned to current priorities
- Provide transparent, concise program updates to executives and partners with clarity and technical precision through documentation, dashboards, and presentations
QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience working with cloud-deployed architectures, containerized software, web-based applications, developer tools, and data products
- Ability to visualize and communicate complex data and user workflows
- Experience writing technical documentation, PRDs, or system specifications
- Excellent communication skills—both written and verbal
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development practices
- Technical background (e.g., degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant work experience)
- U.S. Citizen
