- Write requirements documents, process flows, specifications, and user stories that engineers can build from.
- Support project scoping, including effort estimates, statements of work, and assessment of change requests to ensure scope changes are controlled and appropriately priced.
- Own technical recruitment end-to-end, including defining role requirements, running the recruitment process, interviewing alongside the team, and closing hires.
- Manage onboarding and offboarding.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience working on technology projects, including at least 2 years in a delivery, systems analysis, business analysis, or technical project management role.
- Experience writing requirements documents, specifications, or user stories that engineering teams have built from.
