About the role:

As an Epic Owner, you will play a key role in driving our product development and ensuring successful delivery of business value.

Key Responsibilities:

• Epic Management: Lead the life cycle of epics from idea generation and backlog refinement through to implementation, release, and feedback collection.
• Strategic Alignment: Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to understand business priorities, align epics with product vision, and translate high-level objectives into actionable work items.
• Prioritization & Planning: Develop and maintain an epic roadmap, clearly prioritizing features and deliverables based on business value, customer needs, and technical feasibility.
• Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the primary point of contact for all matters related to the epic. Effectively communicate progress, risks, and dependencies with both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment throughout the process.
• Team Collaboration: Engage with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, quality assurance, and product marketing, to ensure all aspects of the epic are well-understood, and any impediments are proactively addressed.
• Customer-Centric Focus: Advocate for the customer throughout the epic life cycle, ensuring features are developed with a customer-first mindset and deliver measurable value.
• Continuous Improvement: Participate in agile ceremonies, retrospectives, and improvement initiatives to ensure that the team remains high-performing and continually improves processes.
