• Partner with Producers, PMs, and Leads to improve workflows, backlog readiness, and sprint planning.
• Maintain cross-team alignment between engineering, design, product, and client stakeholders.
• Anticipate risks, surface dependencies, and proactively resolve issues before they impact delivery.
• Act as a senior accountability owner—ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality remain on track.
• Serve as a trusted client-facing leader who communicates clearly, confidently, and transparently.
