Remove technical blockers, identify risks, and ensure timely delivery of engineering outcomes.
Drive infrastructure, environment strategy, deployment patterns, and roadmap alignment.
Bring an MVP and scalable mindset to all solutions and technical decisions.
Continuously evaluate new technologies, patterns, and tools to improve delivery and system quality.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with the Chief Product Owner to align product roadmap with technical priorities.

Work closely with architecture leadership, Dev Leads, and business stakeholders.

Communicate complex engineering concepts clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences.

Provide transparency on evolving priorities, architectural decisions, and technology constraints.

Project & Delivery Management
