Job Description
• Shape scope before work starts
• You’ll help define what we’re building before engineers ever pick it up.
• You’ll lead scoping and feature-shaping conversations, identify dependencies and risks early (technical, content, compliance), and help translate fuzzy ideas into clear, testable requirements.
• You’ll partner closely with Design and Engineering to define what “done” actually means.
• Own planning, estimation, and delivery accountability
• You’ll lead estimation with the team and turn it into delivery plans that are ambitious but believable.
• You’ll help the team understand capacity, make smart tradeoffs, and sequence work so progress is steady and intentional.
• You’ll surface risks early, challenge assumptions when timelines get magical, and push for course correction before things go sideways.
• Make decisions and priorities visible
• You’ll be the keeper of context.
• You’ll maintain decision logs, translate decisions into clear next steps, and keep Jira honest and up to date.
• You’ll reduce cognitive load for the team by making priorities, dependencies, and status obvious at all times.
