• Act as a central point of contact for delivery status, blockers, and escalation across teams.
• Manage triage and prioritization of technical product support requests, including incidents, into respective product sprints.
• Work with the product owner to contribute to technology strategy, especially with respect to technical debt and delivery risks.
• Continuously improve development processes and methodologies. Explore new tools and technologies to enhance productivity and efficiency.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Business Analysts, ensuring high-quality requirements documentation and alignment with delivery objectives.
