4. Impediment Resolution: Proactively identify and remove blockers—technical, organizational, or stakeholder-related—to maintain delivery momentum and team focus.
5. Team Coaching & Enablement: Mentor and empower Data Engineering teams to adopt Agile best practices, foster a culture of collaboration and innovation, and continuously enhance both technical and interpersonal skills.
6. Performance Monitoring: Track and report on key delivery metrics (e.g., sprint velocity, product quality, stakeholder satisfaction) to drive process improvements and ensure alignment with organizational priorities.
7. Risk & Compliance Oversight: Ensure all data products comply with international banking regulations and internal governance standards by working closely with risk and compliance teams.
