Champion lean, scalable delivery practices that work across multiple teams and regions. Promote continuous improvement and delivery rigor across squads. Support teams in iterative planning, effective estimation, and realistic forecasting. Technical Delivery & Engineering Alignment Understand architectural patterns used across squads (APIs, microservices, cloud services, CI/CD pipelines). Partner with Engineering Leads and Architects to identify and manage technical risks, platform dependencies, and environment constraints. Feed technical incidents, post‐mortems, and reliability improvements into delivery plans and backlogs. Communication & Stakeholder Management Provide clear and concise updates on progress, risks, delivery confidence, and scope changes to senior stakeholders. Act as the primary delivery partner for Product Managers and Engineering Leads. Maintain strong relationships across Engineering, Product, Security, Data Protection and Architecture.
