• Own engineering risk and security — Ensure vulnerabilities, technical debt, lifecycle risks, controls, and other engineering risks are understood, prioritized, and addressed.
• Communicate and align — Provide senior leadership and stakeholders with clear, data‑informed visibility into priorities, delivery, performance, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions.
