• Escalate product gaps, integration friction, and recurring customer pain to Product and Engineering with actionable specificity.
• Build reusable playbooks to increase the broader FDE organization’s capability.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for executive stakeholders from kickoff through handoff and sell the vision and plan to C-suite sponsors.
