- A specific, clear demeanor in implementation – you stand by your requirements and prioritization decisions even if they initially trigger discussions.
- Enjoyment of professional management through communication skills and persuasiveness, not through formal authority - the position is part of the development team and is hierarchically aligned with the software development management, both in disciplinary and operational terms.
- Structured, precise working method with a high quality standard, especially in defining acceptance criteria.
- Pragmatic, solution-oriented working style with a good sense for balancing requirements, effort, and benefits.
Experience
