Responsibilities

• Translate customer needs, business opportunities, and market insights into clear product priorities, capabilities, and roadmaps
• Partner across Product, Design, Engineering, Analytics, and business teams to identify customer problems, define product hypotheses, and determine the right opportunities to pursue
• Define MVPs and incremental releases that allow us to deliver value, learn quickly, and continuously improve the product
• Establish clear product outcomes and use customer insights, analytics, and operational data to inform prioritization and iteration
• Translate product strategy, customer journeys, and experience designs into a clear, prioritized, development-ready backlog
• Define features and write and refine user stories, acceptance criteria, and business rules with the level of detail required for Engineering to confidently begin development
• Lead ongoing backlog refinement and grooming with Engineering, ensuring upcoming work is well understood, appropriately decomposed, prioritized, and ready for delivery
• Maintain clear connections between product outcomes, capabilities, features, stories, dependencies, and releases
• Identify edge cases, expected system behaviors, data requirements, integrations, technical dependencies, and non‑functional requirements where appropriate
• Develop strong working knowledge of systems, APIs, services, integrations, data flows, and architectural patterns that enable Digital Pharmacy experiences
• Participate actively in technical discovery, solution design, refinement, and delivery discussions
• Partner with Engineering and Architecture to understand technical options and constraints, surface dependencies, challenge assumptions, and make informed product tradeoffs
• Ensure technical decisions remain connected to the customer problem and intended product outcome
• Think beyond the immediate feature or use case and identify opportunities to create reusable components, APIs, services, business rules, and platform capabilities
• Partner with Engineering and Architecture to determine where capabilities should be standardized for reuse across multiple products, channels, clients, and experiences
• Balance near‑term product delivery with intentional investments in the technical foundations required for future scale
• Use Digital Pharmacy as an incubator to rapidly test new experiences and capabilities
• Define the smallest meaningful MVP required to validate customer value, business value, or a product hypothesis
• Partner with Analytics to establish measurement and learning plans and use product performance, customer feedback, and operational insights to inform subsequent iterations
• Identify successful capabilities that should be hardened, standardized, and scaled for broader reuse
• Identify upstream and downstream dependencies early and work across teams to establish the sequencing required for end-to-end delivery
• Validate that delivered capabilities meet the intended customer experience, business rules, acceptance criteria, and product outcomes
• Continuously evolve the backlog based on what we learn through discovery, development, and production usage
• Use your skills to make an impact
• We are looking for a hands‑on technical product leader with strong systems thinking and exceptional product execution discipline.
