• Partner with the product management community and the broader technology organization.

Partner closely with teams across the firm's business units, platform engineering, architecture, program execution, enterprise strategy, and shared product tooling organizations. Convene forums where demand, ownership, and priorities are aligned. Drive adoption through influence and partnership rather than mandate
• Embed business, risk, and regulatory alignment into the practices themselves.

Includes accountability for the function's ability to demonstrate and evidence its controls
• Lead the team and measure adoption rather than publication. Build and develop the team while establishing measures of adoption and maturity so that practices are evaluated based on uptake and improved outcomes. A practice that is not used is not a delivered practice
