Role Description

• Facilitate requirements gathering sessions, stakeholder interviews, and workshops with clients.
• Translate business goals and user needs into clear functional requirements, user stories, and delivery backlogs.
• Define success metrics and ensure solutions remain aligned with intended outcomes throughout delivery.
• Support prioritization and sequencing decisions using structured frameworks.
• Continuously refine requirements as new insights emerge during discovery and delivery.
• Ensure solutions are usable, adoptable, and designed for real-world constraints.

• Own delivery from requirements definition through implementation and handover.
• Partner closely with analytics, engineering, and design teams to ensure requirements are clearly understood and to evaluate and design digital solutions to meet the requirements.
• Develop and manage project scope, execution plans, timelines, and budgets in collaboration with multiple stakeholders including client-side product owners, target users, software vendors, technical delivery teams.
• Proactively identify dependencies, blockers, misalignments, and risks, and address them early.

• Quick learning agility: If you are naturally curious and love to learn, this is an environment you will thrive in. You're not expected to know everything, but we expect you to fill in the gaps quickly, with guidance from our leadership team.
