You will be the key liaison between our clients and development teams, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with business goals.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on innovative software solutions while enabling startups to launch quickly and scale-ups to grow efficiently.

• Own and prioritize the product backlog, balancing business goals, technical feasibility, and market demands.
• Define and refine user stories and acceptance criteria in collaboration with clients and the development team.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with startups and scale-ups is a significant advantage.
