- You are able to deduce vague issues into actual requirements and break them down for engineer’s consumption and build a prioritized backlog
- You put a high value on collaboration with both our external and internal partners to achieve our business outcomes
- You want to have a large impact quickly vs. building a domain to rule over for eternity
- You can spot bugs or functional improvements on almost any application you use.
- You can present your problems effectively to the stakeholders in a simple and effective manner, with the appropriate tools and data, if that will make it effective
- You raise issues quickly instead of waiting till the last minute. You are not afraid to ask for help

Why is this role important?
