  • Facilitate client meetings focused on resolving open questions, making decisions, and maintaining delivery momentum.

  • Partner closely with engineering and technical leadership to ensure requirements, workflows, and expected outcomes are clearly defined before development begins.

  • Manage engagement logistics, including stakeholder scheduling, deliverable tracking, meeting cadence, follow-ups, and project timelines.

  • Ability to rapidly develop prototypes, drafts, or other tangible artifacts that help stakeholders evaluate and refine potential solutions.

  • Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand application architecture, integrations, workflows, data considerations, and technical constraints.

  • Ability to identify unclear or unrealistic requirements and work with business and technical stakeholders to develop practical solutions.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate between business and technical audiences.

  • Demonstrated ability to provide clear recommendations, challenge assumptions constructively, and help stakeholders make decisions.

  • Strong organizational skills and ability to independently manage multiple client engagements and priorities.

  • Ability to work effectively with engineering teams, technical leadership, business stakeholders, and senior executives.
