Author and own the Project Brief — the authoritative statement of scope, objectives, success criteria, and constraints — including Business Requirements Documents, Product Requirements Documents, and supporting user stories
Prioritize and manage the product backlog for each sprint, deciding what gets built first based on business value and prioritization pipelines defined in partnership with Navigators and client stakeholders

Run sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives; coordinate handoffs between Solutions Engineers, Integration, Data/ML, and the Platforms team when projects are delivered to production
Identify, log, and escalate scope changes, risks, and blockers; own the go/no-go recommendation at each gate in coordination with the Director, AI Delivery
Produce the Handoff Package: full delivery documentation including product specification, integration map, operational guide, and any artifacts required for the Platforms team to assume ongoing ownership
Partner with the Director, AI Delivery to ensure delivery standards, sprint velocity, and quality expectations are met across all concurrent engagements
Champion responsible AI principles throughout delivery, ensuring ethical considerations, bias mitigation, data privacy compliance, and governance requirements are embedded in every product specification
