Platform Ownership & Architecture
· Own the requirements for the shared identity and entitlement model — how members, roles, and access are defined and how that structure scales.
· Make platform decisions that other teams build on, understanding that early choices are hard to unwind later.
· Build and maintain a roadmap that reflects technical feasibility, cross-team demand, and long-term extensibility.
Cross-Functional Execution
· Serve as the connective tissue across engineering and multiple product teams, each with their own priorities and context.
· Run cross-team alignment conversations, know when to escalate versus resolve, and keep decisions moving without owning every team involved.
Requirements & Specification
· Write PRDs that engineering teams can build from without a follow-up meeting for every edge case.
· Close open architectural decisions rather than leaving them for someone else to resolve later.
Communication and Stakeholder Alignment
· Communicate platform strategy and tradeoffs clearly to audiences ranging from engineers to senior leadership.
· Write crisply — specs, strategy memos, and executive updates that people actually read and act on.
