• Maintain and refine the product backlog in partnership with Product Owners, and cross-department representatives, ensuring user stories are well-defined, estimated, and prioritized.

• Collaborate with Product & Engineering leads to align on scope, dependencies, and delivery timelines across teams.

• Manage project communications, including status updates, executive summaries, and stakeholder briefings, tailoring communication style to technical and non-technical audiences.
