- Partner with company’s leadership to support funding/approval activities by providing required delivery inputs (scope, sequencing, timeline, risks, resource assumptions).

- Support production operations and critical incidents by coordinating participation, facilitating communications, documenting impact/timeline, and ensuring corrective actions are prioritized and completed.

- Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams through change (without direct authority), adopt/improve delivery methodologies (Agile/DevSecOps), and drive measurable improvements using delivery/operational metrics.
