• Solid understanding of Agile delivery frameworks and practical experience supporting planning, refinement, and delivery ceremonies
• Experience shaping or contributing to product vision, roadmaps, and delivery milestones aligned to broader objectives
• Ability to define success criteria and ensure delivered features address genuine business or user needs
