• Oversee agile ceremonies with the engineering team, ensuring Jira epics and stories remain aligned with requirements and delivery milestones.

• Monitor and support product delivery, including tracking completion in Jira and addressing production issues as needed.

• Provide ad hoc support for leadership reporting, including preparing status updates, slide content, and discussions related to product strategy and progress.
