• Monitor portfolio performance, roadmap execution, benefit realization, and strategic objectives to ensure delivery of expected business and technology outcomes.
• Support the establishment and adoption of platform standards, policies, governance frameworks, and best practices in partnership with Enterprise Architecture and Engineering teams.
• Facilitate governance reviews, risk assessments, compliance activities, and audit support while promoting consistency in planning, prioritization, and technology management.

• Facilitate executive-level discussions, presentations, and governance activities.
• Balance short-term business priorities with long-term platform strategy and investment objectives.
