Accountabilities

• • Lead structured discovery workshops with engineering, product, business, and technical stakeholders to identify, document, and validate business and technical requirements.
  • Build and maintain detailed requirements matrices covering data types, system interfaces, processing frequencies, dependencies, and downstream consumers.
  • Own scope tracking and MVP boundary management, documenting agreed scope and ensuring changes are captured through appropriate change-control processes.
  • Maintain business glossaries, metadata standards, data governance documentation, and other artifacts in collaboration with architects and data leads.
  • Coordinate across concurrent workstreams to ensure data contracts, canonical definitions, and architectural decisions remain consistent.
  • Facilitate technical feasibility discussions, track open questions and dependencies, and proactively escalate risks and unresolved issues.
  • Translate complex architecture and technology concepts into clear requirements, functional specifications, interaction models, and other stakeholder-ready documentation.
  • Support program leadership with decision logs, action trackers, risk registers, stakeholder communications, and delivery coordination.
  • Produce high-quality client-facing deliverables, including requirements documents, workshop summaries, dependency logs, and scope-management records.
  • Assist with light project management activities such as milestone tracking, status reporting, action-item management, and cross-team dependency coordination.
