• Collaborate with UX/UI designers to ensure intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.
• Communicate project progress, roadblocks, and achievements regularly to stakeholders and senior management.
• Foster a collaborative and transparent environment within the cross-functional team.

Product Delivery & Evaluation:

• Participate actively in all agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives).
• Accept or reject completed user stories based on defined acceptance criteria and quality standards.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for the delivered solutions, gathering user feedback, and iterating on the product based on usage and results.
• Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory requirements and internal quality standards in all digital solutions.

Domain Expertise:

• Develop a deep understanding of current and future QM/PC processes & data flows, handled in your products
