• Gather requirements from internal stakeholders (Support, Compliance, Finance, Ops) for back-office tooling improvements, and prioritise them against engineering capacity.
• Maintain and continuously improve the team's agile process, tooling (e.g. Jira/Linear), and reporting cadence, including sprint reports and delivery dashboards for leadership.
• Act as the day-to-day point of contact between Engineering and the product team on execution matters, ensuring scope, dependencies, and timelines are clearly understood.

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to keep multiple workstreams and stakeholders on track at once.
