- Translation & Specifications: You act as a translator between external partners and internal tech teams. You translate complex API documentation (XML/JSON specifications) into clear User Stories and technical requirements for your developers.

- Communication: Ability to work across teams and with external partners. You can explain a technical blocker to a business person.
- Language: Fluent in French & English is mandatory. You will lead workshops with international partners.
