• Facilitate the rituals of the domain (synchronizations between teams, reviews, retrospectives) and promote the sharing of good practices and learning experiences;
• Identify and remove the obstacles that slow down the teams, by facilitating collaboration with the other teams, the business and IT;
• Coaching and developing people, giving and receiving feedback, and maintaining a culture of trust, transparency and continuous improvement;
• Manage the project's change requests in consultation with stakeholders;
• Regularly report on the progress of the project to the relevant authorities, with transparency on risks and difficulties;
• Escalate significant changes or issues that exceed acceptable tolerance thresholds correctly and in a timely manner;
• Ensuring the follow-up of suppliers by involving them as true partners;
