• Run product delivery across multiple vendors, platforms, teams, dependencies, and concurrent workstreams.
• Workshop with users and stakeholders, clarify ambiguous problems, define requirements, and shape features from discovery through delivery.
• Build and manage the backlog, user stories, acceptance criteria, release planning, and collaboration with developers through shipped software and post-launch iteration.
• Analyze JSON payloads, API responses, logs, data flows, integrations, and third-party systems to troubleshoot technical issues and support the product.

• Experience working directly with clients and senior stakeholders: facilitating discussions, challenging assumptions, managing competing priorities, and driving decisions.
• Ability to partner closely with UX/design and engineering teams to shape solutions.
• Experience with distributed, cross-time-zone teams; flexibility and strong asynchronous communication are essential.
• Strong understanding of Agile product development, including refinement, sprint planning, dependency management, release coordination, and iterative delivery.
