WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Experience with Rally or equivalent Agile platforms is acceptable. Basic familiarity with the software development lifecycle is expected.

Open to feedback and quick to adapt to you, you see ambiguity as a normal part of a fast-paced environment. Analytical Skills: Ability to gather and interpret information to support product decisions and backlog prioritization. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are prioritized over deep analytics.
