What You'll Do
Project Delivery
- Own the day-to-day delivery of digital product projects across multiple client sectors, from discovery through to launch.
- Keep projects on track - managing risks, blockers and dependencies proactively, and communicating status clearly to all stakeholders.
- Assist in running agile ceremonies including standups, sprint planning, retrospectives and client reviews.
- Work closely with design and development teams to ensure delivery stays aligned to the brief.
- Perform quality assurance testing on new functionality before being released to clients for user acceptance testing.
- Work with the development team to triage bugs and feature requests, prioritising fixes and improvements to keep products running smoothly for clients.
Proposals & Scoping
- Lead structured discovery sessions with clients to surface requirements, challenge assumptions and define the right approach before any work begins.
- Define project scope in collaboration with clients and the Head of Product.
- Draft project proposals to a high standard from client briefs, structuring the approach, deliverables and phasing clearly.
