- You will translate business needs into well-structured user stories and technical requirements that drive effective execution.
- Your work includes creating detailed documentation—such as PRDs, BRDs, process flows, acceptance criteria, and solution diagrams—to support consistent communication and delivery.
- You will also facilitate workshops to align stakeholders, drive decision-making, and establish a unified understanding of project objectives.
- Throughout the process, you will proactively identify gaps, risks, and dependencies to guide scope, timelines, and overall solution integrity.
- You will own end-to-end project execution—from initial discovery through final launch—to ensure smooth, predictable, and high-quality delivery.
- You will develop detailed project plans, timelines, sprint schedules, and resource coordination strategies that keep cross-functional teams aligned and moving efficiently.
- Throughout each initiative, you will closely track scope, budget, risks, and deliverables to maintain transparency and control.
- You will facilitate strong alignment between internal teams and external vendors, enabling coordinated execution and timely progress.
- A key part of your role is proactively identifying and removing blockers, escalating issues when needed, and ensuring momentum is sustained to meet project goals.
- In this role, you will lead core Agile ceremonies—including sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming—to ensure consistent progress and team alignment.
- You will maintain a prioritized, well-refined product backlog that balances business priorities with technical feasibility.
- By promoting Agile best practices and reinforcing process consistency, you will help teams operate efficiently and predictably.
- You will also play a key role in improving delivery velocity and strengthening cross-functional collaboration through coaching, workflow optimization, and strong communication that keeps all team members engaged and empowered.
- You will collaborate closely with engineering teams to validate feasibility, refine solution designs, and ensure technical decisions consistently support business objectives.
- You will leverage your understanding of APIs, CMS platforms, analytics implementations, and digital integrations to guide solutioning efforts and assist with troubleshooting when needed.
- You will support QA processes, coordinate UAT activities, and prepare teams for launch readiness to ensure every release meets quality expectations.
- Throughout the project lifecycle, you will ensure that all technical solutions align with business goals, adhere to UX standards, and ultimately deliver seamless, high-quality digital experiences.
