Description
:What You'll Own
Story Backlog and Sprint Delivery
Write, groom, and prioritize user stories with transparent acceptance criteria across a multi-initiative platform backlog spanning catalog management, ordering, system integrations, digital asset management, identity, and more
Break epics into sprint-ready stories and flag scope that will not close within a sprint
Stay in the details, actively writing stories every sprint rather than delegating and reviewing
Maintain backlog quality and traceability across workstreams and PI targets in Jira
Technical Depth and Platform Engagement:
Understand the platform deeply enough to challenge assumptions, validate feasibility, and identify gaps across out-of-the-box capabilities, configuration requirements, and custom development areas
Engage meaningfully with architecture decisions such as API Gateway design, system integrations, schema-per-client multitenancy, and document customization engine, and surface the implications for the backlog
Partner with engineering on architecture reviews, integration sequencing,



and non-functional requirement traceability
Bridge platform behavior and business requirements before stories go into a sprint
Cross-Functional Coordination:
Serve as the organizing hub for working sessions, bringing product owners, product managers, and engineering stakeholders across India and the US together for backlog reviews, story walkthroughs, and prioritization
Facilitate story-writing workshops so the team produces consistently structured, reviewable artifacts
Coordinate effectively with global vendors as part of a distributed delivery model
Maintain a shared view of epic and story status across all initiatives so nothing falls through the cracks between teams or time zones.
PI Planning and Execution:
Prepare initiative-level story maps, dependency maps, and risk flags ahead of PI planning events Keep the pipeline stocked for upcoming sprints, not just the current one
Track and communicate what is in-fl
