• Gather feedback and build relationships with your current and potential user base
• Ensure that the technical vision and roadmap support current and future business goals

• Lead the prioritization and delivery of platform features and capabilities by collaborating with the product manager, Scrum Masters, development teams, system architects, and release train engineers to coordinate work across Agile teams
• Manage the platform backlog, ensure that there are clear initiatives, features, and user stories, and prioritize delivery by balancing the trade-offs between innovation, technical debt reduction, and operational stability

• Develop the target operating model for platform operations—including staffing, governance, RACI definitions, and handover processes—to support sustainable growth and efficient operational models
• Represent the platform in executive forums and governance bodies by communicating progress, risks, investments, and strategic decisions to stakeholders in technology and business units
