Owning and prioritising the product backlog
Writing high quality user stories and acceptance criteria
Working closely with engineers and Tech Leads throughout delivery
Driving sprint planning, backlog refinement and agile ceremonies

Strong experience writing tickets, user stories and requirements
Experience working in agile delivery environments
Comfortable working closely with technical stakeholders
Experience within retail, omnichannel, operational or logistics-focused environments would be highly beneficial
Experience with Azure DevOps, Notion or similar tooling
