Lead and mentor day-to-day Product Owners within the value stream, ensuring feature backlogs, user stories, and acceptance criteria accurately reflect high-level business goals and technical roadmaps.
Lead high-level discussions evaluating cloud capabilities, observability tooling, and disaster recovery as an integrated, resilient platform ecosystem rather than isolated silos.
