Responsibilities
- Support product initiatives through evaluation, validation, definition, readiness, release, and post-launch follow-up.
- Review product documents, scope materials, requirements, release notes, and stakeholder communications for clarity, completeness, and consistency.
- Identify unclear scope, missing information, unresolved questions, ownership gaps, technical constraints, operational risks, and downstream impacts before they create confusion or rework.
- Support release readiness by helping teams understand documentation, customer-facing impacts, risks, dependencies, support needs, and operational considerations before launch.
- Maintain lifecycle templates, documentation standards, handoff expectations, readiness checkpoints, and lightweight process guidance.
- This role creates value by helping teams understand what is being considered, what is in scope, what risks or dependencies exist, and what decisions are needed before work moves too far into implementation.
- By serving as a liaison between department directors, Product, Engineering, customer-facing teams, operational teams, and executive leadership, this position helps reduce confusion, prevent avoidable rework, improve release readiness, and support thoughtful product decisions that align with TalkingParents' business goals, customer needs, technical realities, and operational priorities.
- Experience working with software engineering teams to clarify requirements, evaluate feasibility, surface risks, and support product decisions before implementation.
- Strong judgment in knowing when to clarify, document, escalate, align stakeholders, reinforce scope boundaries, recommend further evaluation, or move forward with the best available information.
- Experience working across business, technical, operational, customer-facing, and leadership teams to improve shared understanding and support aligned decisions.
Requirements
- Ability to review product, scope, requirements, release, and stakeholder documentation for clarity, completeness, accuracy, consistency, and usability.
- Ability to identify unclear scope, missing assumptions, unresolved questions, ownership gaps, dependencies, risks, readiness concerns, and downstream impacts.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical, product, operational, customer-impact, and business information for different audiences.
