• Consolidate customer requests and feedback into durable software features, tooling, test coverage, and process improvements; ensure learnings are reused across customers. 

• Proactively identify risks, execution gaps, and systemic bottlenecks; implement mitigation plans and hold teams accountable to closure. 

• Facilitate stakeholder communication and present technical progress, risks, and tradeoffs to leadership with clarity 

• Develop robust metrics and effective mechanisms for evaluating the impact of research on customer workloads and revenue, with a focus on continuous improvement. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
