Platform Product Planning & Lifecycle

·   Develop and maintain platform product positioning, roadmap recommendations, and lifecycle plans aligned with portfolio strategy and priorities.

·   Identify opportunities where common platform capabilities improve customer experience, reduce duplication, accelerate product delivery, or create new business value.

·   Evaluate and recommend platform priorities using customer and product-team value, strategic fit, adoption potential, reuse, feasibility, risk, and platform sustainability.

·   Develop platform opportunity assessments, business cases, and investment recommendations to inform portfolio prioritization.

·   Establish platform success measures, including adoption, reuse, time-to-value, product-team enablement, and customer/business impact.

·   Evaluate emerging AI and data technologies based on customer value, strategic relevance, feasibility, responsible-use considerations, and measurable outcomes.

·   Partner with AI team to shape product opportunities and adoption strategies.

·       Ensure recommendations and product decisions appropriately consider portfolio strategic direction.

Cross-Functional Leadership

·   Lead execution of approved platform roadmap priorities while maintaining focus on outcomes and enabling engineering teams to own detailed technical design and implementation.

·   Identify and manage product-level dependencies, risks, sequencing, and trade-offs across teams and platform capabilities.

·   Measure delivered capabilities against intended outcomes.

Required Qualifications
