• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, engineering, QA, and marketing) to ensure smooth delivery and high-quality outcomes.
• Contribute to retrospectives and continuous improvement initiatives within the product and delivery teams.
• Stay informed about emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry trends relevant to software and app development.

Key skills required:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset with an inquisitive approach to understanding user and business challenges.
• Proven experience delivering software, web, or mobile app projects in both Agile and Waterfall environments.
• Skilled in facilitating workshops, requirement-gathering sessions, and stakeholder interviews.
