• Communicate product and delivery status, risks, and dependencies clearly to stakeholders and leadership, with focus on platform roadmap progress
• Manage dependencies and execution risks, escalating issues and supporting trade-off decisions aligned to product and platform outcomes
• Contribute to continuous improvement of product and delivery practices, strengthening governance, planning discipline, and ways of working across platform delivery efforts
