Own and continuously refine the team backlog to maximize delivered value within roadmap guardrails
Translate product goals and customer problems into well-formed epics and user stories with clear acceptance criteria and supporting context (happy and alternate requirements)
Lead backlog refinement with Engineering and ensure stories meet a shared Definition of Ready before sprint commitment
Be the day-to-day requirements decision-maker for the team: answer questions quickly, clarify scope, and make pragmatic tradeoffs to keep delivery moving
Partner with Engineering and QA to define testable acceptance criteria and validate completed work, accepting/rejecting stories based on agreed criteria
Support sprint planning and sprint reviews by presenting priorities, context, and acceptance criteria, ensuring completed work is demonstrable and aligns with intended outcomes
Coordinate Stakeholder Input and triage intake (Support/CS escalations, customer feedback, technical debt requests) into the backlog with appropriate context and priority rationale, shielding the engineering team from unplanned work
Collaborate with Product Management on discovery and evidence gathering (customer calls, workflow observation, support data) and provide inputs that inform roadmap decisions
Contribute to release readiness by partnering with QA to assess quality risks, outstanding defects and release confidence, as well as supplying scope summaries, release notes inputs, and enablement details for international teams as needed
Order and re-order the workstream backlog within roadmap guardrails and agreed priorities
Define acceptance criteria and determine whether a story meets 'done' for product intent
Make day-to-day scope tradeoffs within a sprint when new information emerges (while keeping the PM informed)
Escalate to the Product Manager when a decision materially changes roadmap priority, customer commitments, or commercial implications
Escalate tradeoffs that involve cross-team dependencies, significant schedule impact, or major scope changes
Escalate requests that touch pricing/packaging, contractual commitments, or high-risk compliance considerations
