The platform is new, the roadmap is ambitious, and the details matter enormously. As Platform Product Owner, you sit at the critical intersection of product vision and engineering execution. You work closely with the Platform Product Manager to deeply understand strategic intent, and you are responsible for translating that intent into well-defined, sprint-ready user stories that development teams can build with confidence.
