This role is focused on turning product priorities into coordinated execution. You will work closely with Product Management, Engineering, QA, Support, Solutions Engineering and customer-facing teams to manage dependencies, resolve blockers, track delivery and ensure high-priority initiatives move from planning through release. You will also play a key role in coordinating complex customer issues that require involvement across multiple technical teams.

• Facilitate technical discussions and ensure decisions, dependencies and follow-up actions are clearly documented and assigned
• Coordinate release planning, validation, readiness reviews and handoffs across Product, Engineering and QA teams
• Identify process gaps that create delivery friction and work with teams to improve execution, communication and operational efficiency
• Support prioritization discussions by providing clear information on dependencies, delivery risk, engineering capacity and customer impact
• Develop and maintain program metrics, status reporting and dashboards that provide visibility into roadmap progress and issue resolution
• Use AI-enabled tools such as Claude, ChatGPT or similar platforms to improve technical analysis, documentation, issue summarization, status reporting and workflow efficiency

Requirements include:
