• Translate business logic, operational processes, and internal user needs into scalable, configuration-driven platform capabilities by developing user stories, product requirements, acceptance criteria, prompt and context artifacts, and validation approaches.
• Balance platform priorities across internal client needs, engineering capacity, architecture direction, governance requirements, risk considerations, and emerging AI-assisted development opportunities.
• Partner with engineering leads, architects, AI Delivery, security, data, and design teams to sequence work, resolve dependencies, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and deliver reusable platform capabilities.
• Collaborate with teams using agentic coding tools, AI-assisted development environments, and AI-supported testing, documentation, and validation workflows to improve delivery quality and speed.
• Support implementation planning, release readiness, documentation, validation, and adoption activities using efficient, outcome-focused delivery practices.
• Track platform usage, adoption, client satisfaction, cycle-time improvements, reuse, quality, and other agreed-upon outcomes to continuously refine backlog priorities and improve platform performance.
• Identify opportunities to reduce internal friction, improve self-service, and increase consistency across product and engineering teams through reusable platform capabilities.
• Develop guidance, demonstrations, and enablement resources that help internal users successfully adopt platform capabilities within AI-first product and engineering workflows.

• Demonstrated ability to translate business processes and requirements into scalable technical solutions through close collaboration with engineering teams.
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools such as Codex/ChatGPT, Claude Code/Co-Work, GitHub Copilot/Copilot Studio, and emerging agentic coding environments to improve product discovery, requirements, documentation, analysis, and communication.
• Ability to independently manage a defined platform capability or workstream while balancing internal client value, technical feasibility, governance, responsible AI expectations, and delivery priorities.
