• Engage with Engineering teams, Architects and other stakeholders to gather technical requirements, feedback, and validate stories.
• Facilitate communication between stakeholders and the development team to ensure alignment.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams, ensuring solutions align with product requirements and business goals.
• Collaborate with Technology Solutions Architects and Integration Engineers to design and implement technically feasible solutions.
• Review and approve technical designs, ensuring they meet quality standards and align with the product vision.
• Participate in sprint planning to help the team understand requirements and prioritize tasks.
• Ensure the development team has a clear understanding of user stories and acceptance criteria; provide timely feedback during sprints.
• Deliver high-quality product increments that meet defined requirements and are ready for release.
• Monitor product performance using metrics and KPIs; make data-driven decisions to improve the product.
• Participate in retrospectives and continuous improvement activities to enhance team performance and product quality.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies to inform product decisions.
• Create and maintain documentation for user stories, features, and product requirements.
• Communicate progress, risks, and issues to the Product Manager and stakeholders; share information timely with the development team.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineering Teams, Business Owners, and Technology Solutions Architects to ensure alignment with the overall product vision, architecture, and roadmap.
• Provide technical leadership throughout the development process and ensure feasible, scalable technical solutions.
• Engage with cross-functional teams to validate features and ensure alignment with business priorities.
• Demonstrate experience and ability to work in a global delivery environment; exposure to Azure development projects and AI-related product areas is a plus.

Qualifications

• Required: Located within commuting distance of Mississauga, Ontario or willing to relocate; travel may be required.
• Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent; three years of progressive experience in lieu of every year of education may be considered.
• At least 4 years of Information Technology experience.
• Authorized to work for any employer in Canada without employer-based visa sponsorship (no immigration sponsorship provided).

Preferred Qualifications

• Product backlog ownership with up-to-date, prioritized items aligned to the roadmap.
• Clear user stories with acceptance criteria; backlog refinement based on feedback and business value.
• Excellent collaboration with Product Manager, Engineers, Architects, and other stakeholders.
• Technical leadership and guidance across engineering teams; involvement with Architecture and Integration Engineers.
• Ability to review and approve technical designs; ensure alignment with product vision and quality standards.
• Active participation in sprint planning and reviews; ensure understanding of requirements and acceptance criteria.

The job entails sitting and working at a computer for extended periods. Must be able to communicate by telephone, email, or face to face. Extensive travel may be required as per client and project needs.
