Reporting to the digital director, the role oversees all product workflows—from discovery to delivery of roadmapped projects to the repairs of bugs found on the website and paywall.

Create, update, and organize all Asana tickets in order to keep stakeholders informed of progress and to scope potential blocks in development.

Document developers’ monthly estimated and actual development hours for tickets. Create and maintain detailed and sophisticated product roadmaps with large projects. Coordinate daily deployments.
