Demand Intake and Scoping
Capture the business demands and have an overview of all demand for their scope (Country / Market)
Ensure business needs and priorities are understood to support the business strategy.
Work closely with the Account Manager, Product Business Partners, Market Integration Expert and PM when needed to ensure pre-scoping is performed to identify if existing products are available, or if a new solution is required.
Working closely with the Product teams and other relevant GO teams, the Demand Manager is accountable for the scoping and the engagement regarding demand towards the Entity.
For all non-standard requests that require transversal coordination, the Demand Manager collects inputs from the various contributors and orchestrates the overall delivery.
