• Facilitate regular Epic readiness reviews and accelerate decisions related to value, priority, scope, risk or cross-team ownership.
• Prepare the candidate Epic pipeline ahead of quarterly planning and coordinate the required pre-planning materials.
• Maintain traceability from user problems and desired outcomes through Epics, features, stories and post-planning insights.

• Excellent written communication, stakeholder-management and constructive challenge skills.
• A sound understanding of User Experience principles and the ability to work effectively with design teams.
• The ability to independently lead discovery and Epic readiness while partnering with senior product leaders on strategic priorities.
• Experience or certification in Design Thinking, Service Design, SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager, PSPO or CSPO is beneficial.
