Job Summary

Responsibilities

Story Writing and Acceptance

• Write user stories and acceptance criteria that accurately reflect product and process requirements across the case domain.
• Apply Salesforce Service Cloud expertise to ensure stories are designed to platform best practice, not just functionally correct.
• Validate delivered stories against acceptance criteria; accept or reject work in sprint reviews based on defined conditions of done.
• Proactively identify design or configuration risks during story writing and raise recommendations to the Case Platform PM.

• Apply ITSM best practices to case lifecycle design; ensure the platform reflects sound incident, request, and escalation management principles.
• Identify opportunities where platform‑native capabilities can replace custom build; advocate for sustainable, maintainable solutions.
• Stay current on Salesforce release cycles and emerging Service Cloud capabilities; proactively surface relevant features to the Case Platform PM for roadmap consideration.

Case Domain Coverage

• Maintain deep working knowledge of the full case domain including case creation, routing, classification, milestones, entitlements, escalation, and closure across internal and external surfaces.
• Ensure stories reflect end‑to‑end case flows spanning portal‑created cases, call center cases, and agent‑created cases.
• Coordinate with Portal Support Center and Call Center teams on cross‑team dependencies that affect case platform delivery.

PA‑PO Partnership

• Work closely with the Process Architect at sprint N‑2 cadence to ensure capabilities are discovery‑complete and stories are definition‑of‑ready before sprint entry.
• Raise process gaps or platform constraints surfaced during grooming back to the PA and Case Platform PM for resolution; recommend platform‑aligned alternatives where appropriate.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work with the Case Platform PM to translate roadmap priorities into executable backlog items.
• Engage with internal stakeholders including Support operations, Billing, and GSD teams to gather requirements, validate story accuracy, and advise on platform feasibility.
• Participate in cross‑team ceremonies and dependency planning within the SAFe program increment.

Quality and Testing

• Define and validate test cases aligned to acceptance criteria for case platform capabilities.
• Coordinate with the enablement team on UAT participation and support operational readiness activities ahead of release.

What Success Looks Like in Year 1

• Backlog consistently groomed and definition‑of‑ready at sprint N‑2 cadence with no recurring readiness gaps.
• Stories written to a quality standard that minimizes rework and sprint carryover, with platform best practice embedded from the start.
• Strong working rhythm established with scrum teams, the Case Platform PM, and the Process Architect.
• Full case domain coverage maintained across internal and external surfaces with no delivery blind spots.
