- Partner with the Product Manager, internal stakeholders, and go-to-market teams to gather, document, and validate product requirements.
- Transform mid-to-high-level Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) from key stakeholders into detailed, low-level PRDs—including edge cases, dependencies, and integration considerations.

- Own and maintain a healthy, prioritized product backlog that aligns with overall product strategy and roadmap commitments.
- Make real-time prioritization decisions in response to changing business needs, technical discoveries, or partner feedback.
- Continuously refine backlog items to ensure the squad is always working on the highest-value, best-understood stories.

- Lead communications during sprint reviews, clearly conveying what was delivered and why it matters.
- Serve as the primary communication bridge between the development squad and business stakeholders, ensuring shared understanding of scope, status, and expectations.
- Proactively collaborate with market-facing teams (sales, customer success, marketing) on feature roll-out plans, timing, and partner communications.
- Coordinate with the offers squad and Product Managers to ensure alignment on shared products such as Offer Center.
- Partner with QA teams to define test cases and acceptance criteria for all user stories.
- Participate in acceptance testing activities to confirm that delivered features meet specified requirements before release.
- Champion quality standards within the squad, ensuring edge cases and corner scenarios are addressed during refinement—not discovered post-launch.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date product documentation, including release notes, user guides, and functional specifications.
- Use data and analytics to measure product performance, identify improvement opportunities, and inform prioritization decisions.
