💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day with a stand-up meeting with developers to review progress on search and navigation features, then dive into JIRA to refine the backlog. Afternoon might involve analyzing user behavior data to identify search friction points, followed by a stakeholder meeting to align on priorities. You'll also pair with engineers to define technical requirements for a new CX platform integration.
