You will play an active role in the team, working closely with others to solve problems and improve how things are delivered. At the same time, you will be comfortable picking things up yourself, spotting risks early and moving work forward without waiting to be asked. You will stay focused on delivering things that make a real difference, using feedback and simple measures to check whether what you are building is working as intended.

• Manage and prioritise work for a BDApp software delivery team
  Plan and track tasks for features or components, ensuring work is clearly defined, prioritised and delivered through the product lifecycle. In practice, this means maintaining a backlog, refining user stories and supporting developers to deliver cycle phases on time.

• Communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders
  Adapt communication style for technical teams, senior leaders and business users to ensure shared understanding. For example, translate user needs into delivery requirements and explain delivery progress, risks and trade-offs in plain language.

• Apply user insight to shape product decisions
  Use research and data to understand user needs and inform prioritisation. This includes working with user researchers, interpreting findings and applying them to improve features or services.

• Support delivery across multiple workstreams or projects
  Manage competing priorities across several features or products in a fast-paced environment. In practice, this involves balancing deadlines, resolving clashes in priorities and keeping delivery aligned to overall goals.

• Work effectively within an Agile multidisciplinary team
  Collaborate with developers, designers and delivery roles to plan and deliver product increments. This includes contributing to stand-ups, sprint planning and retrospectives while supporting continuous improvement.

• Contribute to delivering value and measurable outcomes
  Focus on outcomes rather than outputs by understanding the value of what is being delivered. For example, define success measures for features, track progress against them and support decisions that maximise benefits and reduce waste.

• Represent and promote BDApp Products and their value across the organisation
  Actively communicate the purpose progress and benefits of BDApps to a wider audience beyond the immediate team. In practice this means sharing updates demonstrating outcomes and helping others understand how BDApps support organisational goals.
