Job Responsibilities

Requirements Gathering for Platform Rebuild

You will work directly with business owners and voting clients to understand their workflows, pain points, and governance requirements. The emphasis here is on problem discovery ; your instinct should be to challenge stakeholders to articulate the why behind their requests, not to accept the solution they initially propose. You will partner closely with our Technical Product Owner to translate those insights into well-structured user stories and acceptance criteria, while balancing competing client needs and organizational constraints to make clear, reasoned trade-off recommendations.

Legacy Platform Stewardship

You will own the Kanban workflow for ongoing maintenance of our legacy voting recommendation system, working alongside a single engineer. This means prioritizing bug fixes, minor feature requests, and operational improvements to keep the platform dependable for voting clients , as well as managing distributor integrations and handling client support escalations related to voting or data delivery

What Success Looks Like

Discovery and requirements refinement for voting project epics and features are complete, developed collaboratively with business and technology stakeholders. Requirements are clear, unambiguous, and anchored in underlying client problems rather than prescribed solutions. The legacy platform runs smoothly with minimal production issues and a well-prioritized backlog. And you have built trusted relationships with key business owners, internal teams, and voting clients , earning their confidence and active input.
