Key Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end product delivery lifecycle for ADS capabilities, from product definition and requirements through build, testing, release, client adoption and transition into sustainable service.

Ensure product and service documentation remains current whenever technology changes are designed, released or deployed. This includes ownership of coordinated updates to detailed service descriptions, operating handbooks, deployment runbooks and product newsletters. Establish clear document owners, review controls, approval points and publication timelines so that technology changes and their operational impacts are accurately reflected before release and communicated to affected stakeholders. Lead product roadmap and release communications, measure delivery progress and product outcomes, and anticipate, document, elevate and drive resolution of risks and issues. Identify cross-product and cross-project interdependencies, sequencing constraints and resource conflicts, and develop practical solutions with accountable owners. Support strategic planning and investment decisions through clear product health reporting, delivery forecasts, prioritisation recommendations and evidence-based status updates. Engage senior management, key stakeholders, clients and vendors on product scope, delivery commitments, readiness, outcomes, risks and decisions. Embed reusable product-development standards and delivery best practices into the core development process, driving consistency, quality and continuous improvement across ADS.
