The role plans and manages technical programs or projects, effectively steering them to meet specific roadmap and feature objectives. The role develops a comprehensive software vision and roadmap for product initiatives.

Core Responsibilities (What you will do):

• Define and evolve the digital solution vision for Enterprise Operations enablement across subscription print experiences (enrollment, billing, servicing, lifecycle operations).
• Translate business objectives into capabilities and features, ensuring traceability from strategy → epics → features → stories → acceptance criteria.
• Maintain alignment between product roadmap, operational readiness, and delivery sequencing across internal partner teams.

Requirements Engineering & Backlog Ownership (JIRA)

• Facilitate structured requirements discovery to capture:
• Business objectives, scope boundaries, assumptions, constraints, risks, and dependencies
• End-to-end workflow requirements, exception handling, and operational controls
• Create and manage high-quality JIRA artifacts (epics, features, user stories, enablers) with:
• Clear problem statements and outcomes
• Detailed functional requirements and non-functional requirements (NFRs)
• Acceptance criteria, validations, and test considerations
• Ensure backlog readiness for development through grooming, prioritization, and dependency management.

Cross-Functional Facilitation & Stakeholder Management

• Plan, lead, and document business + technical workshops to converge on solution design and operational feasibility.
• Identify, engage, and consult subject matter experts (SMEs) to build comprehensive requirements across complex domains (e.g., billing, invoicing, payments, finance, logistics, regulatory).
• Drive decision-making through tradeoff analysis (cost/benefit, timeline, risk) and clearly communicate outcomes.

Solution Design & Operational Enablement

• Partner with architects/designers to define functional decomposition, integrations, data flows, and business rules.
• Ensure solutions support operational execution needs, including:
• Monitoring/controls, auditability, exception management, and support readiness
• Produce delivery-ready functional artifacts (as applicable):
• Process flows, use cases, state transitions, business rules catalogs, interface/event requirements, and reporting needs.

Delivery Partnership & Lifecycle Support

• Partner with engineering teams to support implementation through:
• Sprint planning inputs, scope clarifications, and change control
• UAT readiness, defect triage, and release validation
• Coordinate with partner orgs and downstream consumers (e.g., TIO, CSS, support operations) to ensure integrated outcomes.

Typical Solution Areas You May Drive (Examples)

• Subscription enrollment expansions that require localized requirements
• Design and requirements for fees and policy-driven charging logic (activation, cancellation, unreturned equipment, return shipping, early cancellation schedules), including operational workflows and finance/legal alignment.
• Payment methods enablement (e.g., Apple Pay/PayPal, SEPA-like direct debit flows)
• Regulatory/disclosure-driven requirements (e.g., copyright levy/invoice presentation implications and the operational/accounting impacts of subscription models)
• Governance-aligned deliverables such as business requirements, system design inputs, process mapping, UAT support, and cross-functional operating readiness.

Key Interfaces / Stakeholders

• Enterprise Operations functional teams (billing/invoicing, finance ops, order management, supply chain/logistics, customer support operations)
• Digital solution designers, architects, and development teams
• Cross-org partners requiring EO interaction (e.g., TIO, CSS, other dependent platforms and services)
• Legal/Compliance, Tax, and Finance stakeholders for policy/regulatory-driven requirements

Success Measures (What "Good" Looks Like)

• Backlog quality: requirements are clear, testable, and implementation-ready with minimal rework.
• Cross-team alignment: stakeholders converge on scope, priorities, and decisions efficiently.
• Delivery outcomes: solutions meet business intent, operational needs, and integration requirements with successful release validation/UAT support.
• Stakeholder confidence: teams consistently rely on this role as the "single source of truth" for requirements and solution intent.
