Key Responsibilities

Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, Analytics, Marketing, Project Managers, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment across initiatives.

  • Maintain visibility into dependencies, timelines, priorities, and risks across teams.

  • Proactively identify areas where teams are becoming misaligned and drive the conversations necessary to resolve them.

  • Ensure stakeholders understand both what the team is doing and how individual activities connect to broader product and business priorities.
Team Execution & Scrum
  • Run and facilitate engineering scrum ceremonies, including stand-ups, sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives, and other working sessions as needed.

  • Ensure teams leave meetings with clear decisions, owners, and next steps.

  • Track blockers and risks through resolution rather than simply documenting them.

  • Help create a predictable and effective operating cadence between Product and Engineering.
Backlog & Roadmap Management
  • Build, maintain, and continuously improve the team backlog and roadmap in partnership with Product and Engineering leadership.

  • Ensure work is clearly prioritized, appropriately structured, and visible to stakeholders.

  • Maintain clarity between committed roadmap work, future opportunities, operational improvements, and unscheduled backlog items.

  • Identify dependencies, sequencing challenges, and resource conflicts before they become delivery issues.
Change Management & Communication
  • Communicate changes to priorities, timelines, scope, and direction clearly and proactively.

  • Help teams understand the why behind changes so that Engineers, Designers, and other stakeholders have the context necessary to make better decisions.

  • Ensure important decisions and changes are documented and communicated consistently across impacted teams.

  • Help reduce confusion caused by fragmented or inconsistent communication.
Operational Improvement
  • Identify recurring execution challenges, process breakdowns, organizational friction, and operational gaps.

  • Work with leadership to understand root causes and define strategies for addressing them.

  • Translate operational strategies into actionable improvements for the team.

  • Continuously evaluate how planning, prioritization, communication, and execution processes can be improved.

  • Encourage accountability across teams and help ensure problems are driven toward resolution rather than passed between functions.
