• Govern change, recovery & resilience — change/CAB process, DR/BCP exercises.
• Report across L0/L1/L2 KPI framework — cost, ROI, uptime, SLA compliance, product adoption/usage, action items.
• Manage product scope, budget, schedule, quality and stakeholder communications.
• Resolve technical/operational issues; escalate to EA, SRE or QA as needed.

Stakeholder Leadership & Governance

• Act as the accountable owner connecting business stakeholders, engineering, quality, and operations throughout each product's lifecycle.

Documentation, Enablement & CoE

• Maintain product documentation, including roadmaps, process flows, data models, and user guides.
• Develop and deliver enablement and training materials that support adoption of productivity tools across the business.
• Define and evolve the CoE strategy, standards, and governance as part of the broader platform product roadmap.
