• Break down epics into detailed user stories with clear acceptance criteria, ready for engineering estimation.
• Partner closely with engineers to ensure requirements are well understood and implementable.
• Work alongside UX teams to ensure alignment between user needs and design solutions.
• Lead workshops and discovery sessions to uncover business goals and define the “why” behind requirements.
• Gather insights and feedback from cross-functional teams including Commercial, Editorial, and Marketing.
• Support backlog grooming and prioritisation in partnership with the Head of Product and Engineering Leads.
• Identify opportunities for process and product improvement across Web, CMS, and AI initiatives.

• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Enthusiastic, product-focused outlook — ideally with an interest in digital publishing or media.
• Familiarity with tools such as Kanban boards, GitHub, Figma, and analytics platforms is a plus.

Why You’ll Love Working Here
