• Exceptional Writing Skills: Proven ability to author clear, high-quality, and actionable user stories that minimize ambiguity for the development team.
• Highly analytical and proficient in synthesizing quantitative data (usage metrics) and qualitative insights (customer interviews) into a clear execution plan.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience with B2B compliance, ESG reporting, real estate technology, or utility data management is a strong plus, but not required.

• Lead daily execution planning, sprint reviews, and retrospective meetings with the Product Engineering team, serving as the Agile expert.

• Engineering Collaboration: Serve as the primary point of contact and dedicated partner to the Product Engineering team. You will spend significant time with engineers clarifying requirements, managing trade-offs, and ensuring technical solutions map efficiently to customer outcomes.
• Quality Assurance Partnership: Work closely with QA/Testing to define test cases based on user stories and ensure thorough regression testing is performed prior to deployment.
• Define and track key product performance indicators (KPIs) related to adoption, usage, and customer satisfaction (CSAT) for delivered features.
• Customer Validation & Feedback Loop: Support the strategic roadmap by executing targeted user interviews (qualitative) and synthesizing findings to validate job and user stories and acceptance criteria defined by the VP.
