Your core responsibility is to ensure the predictable delivery of products by actively engaging in technical discussions, identifying and proactively resolving dependencies and technical blockers, mitigating architectural risks, and applying best-in-class program management practices.</span></p><p style=\"font-family:&quot;Basel
