• Confident writing user stories and acceptance criteria, and working closely with cross-functional teams.
• Strong prioritisation skills, able to balance customer needs, technical constraints, and business value.
• Comfortable managing multiple workstreams and thriving in a fast-paced, agile setting.
• Detail-oriented with excellent communication skills.

Desirable Skills:

• Proficiency in product management tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, etc.).
• Familiarity with design and collaboration tools like Figma or FigJam.
