• Partner with engineering, architecture, security, operations, and program leaders to build credible plans that account for discovery, design, build, testing, defect resolution, cutover, rollback, and operational readiness.
• Define measurable readiness, go or no-go, rollback, testing, and post-launch success criteria while coordinating customer communications, support preparation, monitoring, and hypercare.
• Track risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies, decisions, and open questions, and provide stakeholders with candid reporting on progress, confidence, tradeoffs, and support needed.
• Work independently, create clarity in ambiguous situations, and influence decisions across product, technology, security, business, operations, and vendor teams.
