About Astrid

Platform Lifecycle: Owning the lifecycle of the platform, including enhancements, upgrades, integrations, and decommissioning.
Backlog Planning: Take high-level project goals from our internal "Astrid Forum" and break them down into well-defined, actionable technical requirements.
Roadmapping: Create and maintain a transparent product roadmap that provides the business with predictable release dates and clear visibility into the "when" and "how" of platform evolution.
Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the primary partner for our business leads (Sales, Production, Distribution as well as Clients), helping them define their needs and prioritizing them against the company’s strategic goals.
Optimizing Delivery: Ensure the development team has a clear, distraction-free path to execute. You handle the "pre-work" and requirement gathering so the engineers can focus on building world-class technology.
Process Ownership: Own the project management tools (Jira) and the release cycle, ensuring every new feature is tested, documented, and successfully rolled out to users.
