- Provide technical delivery leadership (light design/review): coordinate technical design, drive solution decisions with IT SME's, and review implementation plans (designs, runbooks, cutover steps) to ensure operational, security, and support readiness.
- Lead release, change, and service transition (ITIL-ish): coordinate vendors/partners and cross-functional handoffs, manage CAB-ready change records/approvals, and execute release/cutover planning (communications, maintenance windows, deployment checklists, and hyper-support).
