You will operate within cross-functional agile product teams comprising staff, including the Senior Product Manager, developers, UX/UI designers, business analysts, and change managers, to ensure strong alignment among business objectives, user needs, and technical implementation. You will report to the delegated Project Authority and participate in a scaled agile delivery model supporting multiple product streams.

The dynamic and iterative nature of registries modernization may require flexibility in sprint planning and cross‐team collaboration to accommodate the rapid evolution of product features, integration patterns, and platform capabilities.
