What you need to succeed

• Exceptional Communication & Stakeholder Management: exceptional communication skills and able to weave compelling narratives about the product vision, strategy, and features. You can articulate complex ideas clearly to diverse audiences, influence stakeholders, and build strong relationships across the business.

• Proficiency with Product Tools: Expert proficiency in JIRA, Confluence, or their equivalents, essential for effective backlog management, documentation, and team collaboration.

Nice-to-Have

• Technical Understanding: While not needing to code, a technical wizard with the know-how of software and web enchantments is a significant plus. Understanding the underlying technology, architecture, and development processes enables more effective communication with engineering teams, better estimation of effort, and the ability to identify technical risks and opportunities early.

• User Experience (UX) Acumen: A strong appreciation and understanding of user-centred design principles and methodologies. While you won't be designing, the ability to critically evaluate wireframes, mockups, and prototypes from a user's perspective and work closely with UX/UI designers is invaluable for building truly delightful products.

• Domain Expertise: Experience within the specific industry or domain of the product you will be working on. This provides immediate context, a deeper understanding of user needs and market dynamics, and allows you to hit the ground running with strategic thinking.
