- Define success metrics for your initiatives where appropriate, track them through delivery and post-launch, and report progress and learnings to the Product Manager.
- Communicate updates on product releases and the status of ongoing development efforts to the broader organisation, ensuring transparency and alignment.
- Coordinate and support user acceptance testing (UAT) for new product releases, ensuring that functionality meets the agreed requirements and acceptance criteria.
- Maintain product documentation and internal wikis, ensuring they are always up-to-date and accessible for relevant teams.
- Conduct demos and training sessions for stakeholders on new product concepts and releases, ensuring effective knowledge transfer and adoption.
- Continuously assess the live product, identifying areas for improvement and addressing gaps between the expected and actual user experience.
- Must 2–4 years of Product Owner, Business Analyst, or equivalent product role experience, with demonstrable ownership of features through the full delivery lifecycle - from discovery through post-launch (required).
