  • Bring design-thinking and technical know-how to define, bring together, and align product requirements (functional and non-functional) with business value.

  • Communicate progress and timelines clearly and frequently to customers, Vista leadership, and collaborators—responding to feedback in a constructive way.

  • Advocate for Agile methodologies and lead team ceremonies to drive collaborative, iterative delivery.

  • Collaborate with global colleagues across design, engineering, data science, security, procurement, and legal to deliver innovative products at pace.

  • Partner with engineering teams to ensure delivery clarity and address blockers in a timely and proactive manner.

  • Conduct user testing and feedback sessions, assess delivery outcomes, and make evidence-based decisions to enhance, pivot, or retire products.

  • Continuously seek ways to improve processes and work closely with supporting functions to evolve them in line with Vista’s innovation remit.

  • Stay informed on industry trends, competitor movements, and emerging technologies—building relationships with internal and external innovation partners to bring new ideas that keep ST&S ahead of the curve.
