- Own the Development Operations skills and workflow library, setting standards and enabling teams to build safely.
- Identify high-value workflows and partner with technical teams to move the strongest solutions into production.
- Lead delivery of the AI portfolio, managing priorities, milestones, dependencies, risks, and governance.
