• Own a comprehensive view of execution performance by assessing releases against acceptance criteria, monitoring planned vs actual work delivered, and partnering with engineering leads to ensure alignment on expected outcomes
• Proactively monitor risks, issues, and dependencies that could disrupt the roadmap and partner with delivery teams to mitigate accordingly
• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact supporting adherence to Definition of Done / Definition of Ready criteria
• Maintain understanding of sprint tasks and near-term backlog and escalate gaps in expectations or understanding to engineering leads and product managers
• Say “no” when necessary to maintain team focus on shared roadmap outcomes
• Bring extensive perspective on product delivery best practices and common rituals
• Represent and promote a platform-first mentality in designing, building, and delivering high-performing solutions
