The Product Specialist will work closely with Sony Pictures product leadership, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to support requirements documentation, execution tracking, and day-to-day coordination across teams.

• Partner with engineering teams to understand technical concepts, dependencies, and delivery considerations
• Participate in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog grooming, sprint reviews, and design discussions
• Track execution progress and proactively surface risks, open questions, or blockers
• Support clear, timely, and professional communication of product updates, action items, and next steps in a client-facing setting

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience (recent graduates and early-career professionals encouraged to apply)
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with comfort interacting directly with clients, engineers, and senior stakeholders
• Willingness to learn technical concepts and ask thoughtful, clarifying questions

• Exposure to product development, technology, or digital platforms
• Familiarity with Agile or hybrid delivery environments
• Experience working in a client-facing, consulting, or professional services environment
