• Own and manage the product backlog, balancing competing priorities to ensure the highest-impact work is completed.
• Lead release and sprint planning, setting clear goals and ensuring on-time, high-quality delivery.
• Identify and mitigate risks and roadblocks, proactively resolving issues that could impact sprint and release success.
• Validate completed work against acceptance criteria, conducting sprint reviews to ensure alignment with customer and business needs.
• Create and refine product documentation, collaborating with Product Managers and Marketing to support product development, launch, support, and sales initiatives.
• Deliver compelling product demonstrations for internal and external stakeholders, showcasing key features and benefits.
• Serve as a subject matter expert, supporting sales and customer service teams with product insights and expertise.
