Client Leadership

• Serve as the primary point of contact for customer stakeholders

• Build trusted relationships through clear communication and consistent delivery

• Lead status reviews, planning sessions, and executive updates

• Resolve delivery issues proactively while maintaining customer confidence

• Identify opportunities to expand engagement and create additional client value

Technical Collaboration

• Work closely with engineering teams on technical planning and execution

• Translate business goals into actionable technical programs

• Support technical decision-making with data and operational insights

• Help prioritize initiatives based on customer impact and delivery risk

• Contribute to operational improvements across engineering organizations

What We're Looking For

• Experience improving operational processes at scale

• Strong stakeholder management skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for business audiences

• Experience working alongside engineering teams on technical delivery

• Previous ownership of production systems or large operational environments
