Delivery & Team Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Product Managers and Business Analysts within the platform product organisation.
• Own backlog health across multiple engineering squads; write high-quality epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria; drive agile ceremonies with engineering leadership.
