Требования:

• You stay close to customer problems and make thoughtful decisions that reflect real user needs.
• You take real ownership of your domain, work collaboratively across teams and stay focused on outcomes rather than activity.
• You communicate clearly, explain decisions well, and make sure stakeholders and teams have the clarity they need to move forward.

• You know how to explore problems properly, validate ideas and use evidence to shape better decisions.

• You work confidently with Engineering, Design, QA, Data and commercial stakeholders, and you’re comfortable across technical and non-technical conversations.
