Develop and maintain metrics, KPIs, and dashboards that provide executive-level visibility into delivery status, platform adoption, operational health, incident trends, and compliance posture for deployed solutions.
Prepare and deliver executive communications (including Operating Committee-level updates) on outcomes, trade-offs, progress, risks, and investment needs.
Partner with product leadership to align forward-deployed engagements with strategic roadmaps, shaping platform capabilities and reusable accelerators based on field learnings.
