Product Roadmap & Backlog Management: Serve as the primary architect of the product backlog in Jira, ensuring epics and user stories are strategically structured to deliver continuous business value. Executive Stakeholder Prioritization: Partner with Business Sponsors and business leaders to define and prioritize product features based on ROI and revenue impact.

Agile Transformation & Mentorship: Lead the IT department's shift from project-based work to a product-centric model, coaching teams on advanced Jira workflows and "spikes" for innovation. Product Analysis & Requirements Management Product Discovery & Lifecycle Management: Lead the discovery phase for new product features, identifying capability gaps and translating high-level business desires into detailed technical specs. Advanced User Stories & Acceptance Criteria: Define the "Definition of Done" for complex integrations, ensuring the development team has absolute clarity on functional requirements.

Continuous Enablement: Coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and "Train-the-Trainer" sessions to ensure global adoption of product updates. Product Engineering & Solution Architecture Workflow Optimization & Scaling: Engineer optimized workflows for your product domain (e.g., Accounting & Finance and/or Supply Chain) to drive organizational efficiency as Jazwares scales beyond $1B.
