This position will see you working closely with the Area Product Owner in order to help champion the overall vision and quality level of the pod’s feature; converting release goals into actionable sprint goals and user stories while being the development team’s first port of call.
In addition to your immediate team, you will liaise with both internal and external stakeholders to assist in building the backlog of product features as well as working closely with the Producer in order to identify and mitigate the pod’s risks, issues and dependencies; ensuring a firm focus on the priority features and maintaining the highest of quality standards. You will be responsible for defining feature requirements around our customer facing web portal for a high-profile, high-end cross-platform game and therefore help to shape and define what success of the product looks like!
