## Description

 * Collaborate closely with UX, design, and engineering teams to define scope, clarify priorities, and make smart tradeoffs that protect the user experience.

 * Facilitate alignment across client stakeholders and internal teams by guiding workshops and turning competing inputs into actionable decisions, supported by easy-to-understand deliverables.
