Cross-Team Coordination & Stakeholder Alignment
- Act as the central coordination point between engineering, quality assurance, product management, and platform/operations teams.
- Track and manage dependencies, risks, blockers, and key decisions, ensuring timely resolution and clear ownership.
- Lead coordination across globally distributed teams (e.g., Manila and UK), aligning on delivery timelines, handovers, and milestones.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
- Ensure delivery and release processes follow defined governance standards, including approvals, documentation, and compliance requirements.
- Maintain visibility into risks, issues, and escalation paths, ensuring stakeholders are informed and engaged.
- Proactively identify delivery risks and ensure mitigation and contingency plans are in place.
Production Readiness & Stabilization
- Ensure releases are fully prepared for production deployment, including validation, communication, and support readiness.
- Coordinate release execution activities, including real-time issue management, escalation, and post-release stabilization where required.
- Support teams in handling production-related issues during and after releases.
Reporting, Transparency & Delivery Insights
- Maintain clear and structured reporting across projects and releases, including:
