• Lead or facilitate agile ceremonies as needed and ensure the engineering team remains aligned on scope, priorities, and outcomes.
• Partner closely with engineers to answer questions, resolve ambiguity, surface dependencies, and unblock delivery.
• Support testing and validation, including UAT, to ensure delivered solutions meet business expectations and are usable.

• Acting as a Primary Point of Contact*

• Act as the connective point between Product, Engineering, and other business stakeholders for day\-to\-day delivery matters.
• Communicate status, risks, issues, dependencies, and decisions clearly and proactively to relevant stakeholders.

• Communicating Business \& Product Intent*
