Technology Product Manager at TEGNA Inc. | LAYIQ

● Own end-to-end product discovery, definition, and lifecycle for the internal enterprise CMS and mobile collaboration platform. Gather requirements from newsrooms, business stakeholders, and technical teams; translate them into clear, testable epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria ready for development.
● Maintain a healthy, prioritized backlog across both products. Lead refinement sessions to ensure stories are well-defined, dependencies are identified, and technical constraints are understood before engineering begins.
● Build strong partnerships with Editorial leadership, business stakeholders, and newsroom teams to deeply understand current-state workflows, pain points, controls, and desired outcomes. Spend regular time observing how journalists, editors, photographers, and producers work to inform product decisions.
● Collaborate closely with Engineering teams throughout sprint cycles—from refinement through delivery. Develop a strong understanding of the software development process; communicate feature requirements clearly in developer-friendly language; and work pragmatically within technical constraints and dependencies.
● Lead agile planning, sprint execution, backlog refinement, and release planning using agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) to establish predictable delivery cadence. Focus on agile principles and workflow efficiency rather than rigid ceremony adherence.
● Manage scope, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations—balancing internal customer value with technical debt, platform constraints, and risk considerations.
● Establish traceability from customer requirements through delivery and release. Support UAT, demos, and acceptance sign-off to validate that shipped features meet intended outcomes.
● Monitor post-release feedback, adoption metrics, and operational KPIs. Drive continuous improvement cycles to reduce rework, improve user satisfaction, and enhance system performance.
● Lead stakeholder communications covering roadmap priorities, release plans, dependencies, tradeoffs, risks, and post-launch performance across editorial, engineering, and business teams.
