Role responsibilities

Backlog Management & Prioritization 

Own, manage, and continuously prioritize the retail team backlog (features, user stories, enhancements, defects, spikes), keeping items well-defined, detailed, and development-ready. 

Break down retail and clienteling initiatives into clear, buildable user stories with dependencies and testable conditions. 

Set priority based on business value, impact on Client Advisors and clients, and alignment with the retail roadmap and broader program goals — balancing stakeholder requests against team capacity through informed trade-offs. 

Acceptance Criteria & Story Readiness 

Define clear acceptance criteria and a definition of “done” for each story, ensuring the team understands what is needed for successful, quality store-facing functionality. 

Confirm stories are marked ready for development, with story points and no unresolved gaps, blockers, or dependencies before commitment. 

Stakeholder Communication 

Act as the primary day-to-day contact between the retail/store business, the Product Manager, and the development team. 

Gather requirements and feedback from store operations, retail and regional teams, and Client Advisor user groups; manage expectations on scope, delivery, and timing. 

Plan stakeholder communication, sprint review visibility, and UAT whenever a change impacts store or regional teams. 

Agile Ceremonies & Sprint Execution 

Lead sprint planning: prepare and prioritize sprint scope, validate story readiness and capacity, and define or support the sprint goal. 

Work closely with the team throughout each sprint to clarify requirements, unblock developers, answer delivery questions, and refine stories as needed. 

Prepare and lead sprint reviews, demonstrating completed retail features to global and regional store stakeholders and capturing feedback and follow-ups.
