• Establish and manage governance structures including steering committees, technical review checkpoints, change control processes, and escalation paths appropriate to the complexity and risk profile of each initiative
• Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to align technical roadmaps with business priorities; facilitate trade-off conversations around scope, capacity, technical debt, and delivery sequencing

• Facilitate requirements clarification, technical scoping, and estimation sessions in partnership with engineering leads, architects, and product managers; translate business needs into well-defined delivery scope
• Drive and coordinate cross-team release planning, sprint reviews, and PI planning ceremonies in agile and scaled agile environments; ensure dependencies between squads are visible and managed
• Define and embed delivery metrics and reporting frameworks — velocity, cycle time, delivery predictability, risk exposure — to give leadership clear, real-time visibility across the portfolio
• Lead change management and communication planning for technically complex initiatives; ensure impacted teams and stakeholders are informed, prepared, and aligned throughout delivery
• Develop and maintain process documentation, delivery playbooks, workflow standards, and tooling guidance; institutionalize best practices so delivery quality scales beyond individual programmes
