- Monitor team velocity and capacity to optimize resource allocation, proactively balancing bandwidth against delivery commitments.
- Coordinate cross-team dependencies and stakeholder alignment to remove bottlenecks and maintain smooth execution.
- Stay hands-on in critical initiatives by guiding design decisions, enforcing sound design patterns, and participating in code reviews to maintain high engineering quality.

- Experience with project planning and tracking tools to visualize and manage delivery timelines.
- Familiarity with engineering, product health metrics, and monitoring tools to drive data-informed decisions.
