• Collaborate with stakeholders, engineers, designers, and other teams to define and deliver product requirements.
• Oversee wireframes, design workflows, and user journeys, ensuring the app's interface is fun, engaging, and user-friendly, with a focus on game-like elements and motivational feedback.
• Draft and refine product specifications, ensuring clarity for engineering and design teams.
• Manage the development of gamification features such as achievements, levels, rewards, and progression systems that inspire user engagement and success.
• Run and oversee the Jira board, ensuring all tickets are up to date, prioritized, and aligned with project goals.
• Act as the main point of contact for cross-functional teams, providing clear communication and managing expectations.
• Conduct regular sprint planning, retrospectives, and work to remove any blockers in the development process.
• Monitor product progress, testing cycles, and ensure quality is maintained for an on-time and on-budget delivery.
• Drive market research and competitive analysis, particularly around gamification and engagement trends, to inform product decisions and prioritize features.
• Adapt and iterate on feedback to continually improve product direction, user experience, and gamified elements.
