Key responsibilities include:

• Own the backlog: Maintain a prioritized backlog, ensuring items are clear, sequenced, and ready for engineering. Lead backlog refinement and align priorities across Product, Engineering, QA, and stakeholders.
• Coordinate delivery with Engineering and QA: Partner daily to plan sprints, clarify requirements, manage dependencies, and move work from development through validation.
• Drive release readiness: Define release scope and success criteria, track progress, and ensure features are complete, tested, documented, and ready to ship. Partner with teams to triage defects and deliver releases to internal and external customers.
• Serve as the technical point of contact: Clarify expected behavior, help reproduce issues, and support design reviews and internal demos. Join select customer discussions when needed to align requirements and expectations.

• Clarify requirements quickly: Answer questions, remove ambiguity, and keep acceptance criteria and edge cases clear. Capture key needs like performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Align on approach and sequencing: Agree on scope, milestones, and dependencies, and ensure stories are broken down in a way that matches how the system is built.
• Partner with QA: Ensure stories are testable, coordinate test planning, and track defects through triage and resolution.
• Manage dependencies and handoffs: Coordinate with platform, infrastructure and operations (DevOps), documentation, and support so environments, tooling, and enablement are ready for release.
• Close the loop after release: Support rollout with release notes and known issues, and feed production feedback and support escalations back into the backlog.
