You will conduct requirements gathering sessions with stakeholders to ensure that the features requested meet their needs, and you will regularly review and adjust backlogs to reflect changes and new findings. In addition to managing the product roadmaps, you will collaborate closely with development teams, participating in sprint ceremonies and ensuring that the development process aligns with business requirements. You will also serve as the primary point of contact for both internal stakeholders and development teams regarding system incidents and process flow issues. Your role will require you to monitor vendor performance and maintain effective partnerships to ensure that business needs are met efficiently. This position offers a hybrid work environment, allowing for flexibility while still requiring in-person attendance as needed.
