Define and refine the strategic roadmap for the platform, ensuring enhancements align with overall business goals and integration with other strategic systems.
Coordinate across multiple tenant groups on the platform to understand needs, utilization patterns, and pain points.
Prioritize platform enhancements and capabilities in partnership with product, technology, and business stakeholders, making trade-off decisions and clearly communicating rationale.
Manage stakeholder expectations, including the ability to say no or propose alternative solutions when requests do not align with strategic priorities.
Partner with the technical lead and project manager to ensure clear translation of business needs into technical requirements, without owning day-to-day technical delivery details.
Act as a central point for stakeholder alignment, facilitating workshops, governance forums, and regular communication to maintain engagement and transparency.

Own and coordinate the work of the application support team, ensuring effective triage, resolution, and communication for incidents, requests, and enhancements.

Contribute to continuous improvement of support and operational processes, including runbooks, SLAs, and reporting.

Operating in an Analytics-Driven Environment

Use data and analytics to inform platform strategy, enhancement prioritization, and operational decision-making (e.g., usage metrics, incident trends, performance indicators).
Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) and success measures for the platform, support operations, and stakeholder satisfaction.
Partner with analytics teams to design and interpret dashboards and reports that surface platform utilization, risk, and opportunity areas.
Communicate insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders in a clear, structured, and compelling way.
