• Lead go-to-market and release-readiness planning with Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Support, Training, and regional teams.
• Support positioning, enablement, documentation, migration, and adoption planning for new and existing software capabilities.
• Provide concise, decision-oriented updates regarding outcomes, roadmap changes, dependencies, risks, assumptions, and tradeoffs to customers, delivery teams, stakeholders, and senior leaders.
