• Manage and mentor offshore/onshore development resources and allocate work across the team.
• Refine user stories with Architect and Product/Delivery leads to flag technical feasibility risks before development begins.
• Execute data migration steps (mapping, transformation, load validation) as defined by the Data Architect and flag issues early.
• Participate in client design sessions and workshops, estimate effort, and surface risks to Architects/Delivery leads.
• Own environment and release management: branching strategy, deployment pipelines, and release calendars (Git/Copado).
