  • Act as the primary liaison between Product Management, Engineering, and Design teams to ensure seamless communication, alignment, and efficient execution of product initiatives.

• MVP & Iterative Delivery: Champion a lean delivery mindset by ensuring MVPs are shipped quickly, with clear scoping for iterative follow-up phases based on user feedback and evolving priorities.

• Backlog Management: Own and meticulously manage the product backlog, ensuring it is well-defined, prioritized, and aligned with overall product strategy. This includes writing clear and concise user stories, acceptance criteria, and detailed specifications.

• Acceptance Testing: Collaborate with QA to define and execute acceptance tests, ensuring delivered features meet the defined criteria and quality standards.

• Performance Monitoring:

  • Monitor progress across design, engineering, and QA workstreams, ensuring alignment, resolving blockers promptly, and maintaining velocity across the full delivery lifecycle.

  • Identify areas for improvement in the execution process and propose solutions.

• Documentation & Change Management: Maintain clear documentation of requirements, product decisions, and change logs using tools like Asana or Notion, ensuring traceability and transparency throughout the development lifecycle.

• Requirements Clarification: Provide on-demand clarifications for the development team regarding requirements, ensuring accurate interpretation and implementation.

• Stakeholder Communication: Provide regular updates to stakeholders on sprint progress, potential blockers, and planned deliverables.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience in a Product Owner, Product Manager, or related role in tech or digital products.

• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies.
