• Partner with Delivery Managers and Tech Leads to ensure execution aligns with the roadmap

Product & Technical Collaboration

• Apply product management principles to backlog shaping, roadmap definition, and value prioritization
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure technical feasibility and sound architectural decisions
• Leverage your engineering background to communicate effectively with technical stakeholders
• Support technical decision-making by balancing business value, delivery effort, and risk
• Incorporate security, compliance, and scalability considerations into roadmap planning

Governance, Risk & Continuous Improvement

• Identify, assess, and manage risks across programs, including technical, operational, and delivery risks
• Establish and maintain clear governance, reporting, and communication cadences
• Promote continuous improvement across planning, prioritization, and delivery practices

• Hands-on experience with tools such as JIRA, Azure DevOps, or equivalent
• Fluency in English (written and spoken)
