• Quickly identify and mitigate technical risks, ensuring stability as we scale.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication:

• Work with product, sales, marketing, and customer success teams to prioritize initiatives that deliver measurable impact.
• Translate complex technical topics into clear insights for non-technical stakeholders, ensuring transparency and trust.

Key Performance Indicators
