Facilitate collaboration between development squads and cross-functional stakeholders, including Product, Customer Success, Support, Sales, Marketing, and other partner teams.

Work closely with Product teams to organize and prioritize backlogs, ensuring requirements are clear, technically feasible, and aligned with available resources.

Proactively identify and remove technical, organizational, and external blockers that disrupt development workflows or delay delivery.

Define, monitor, and analyze operational KPIs to assess squad performance, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvements in efficiency and effectiveness.

Conduct regular one-on-one meetings, provide constructive feedback, support career development, and promote individual and collective team growth.

Manage day-to-day squad operations, including capacity planning, workflow organization, Agile ceremonies, and delivery tracking.

Lead alignment meetings with technical and product leadership to clarify priorities, resolve dependencies, and maintain consistent execution.

Ensure transparent communication with stakeholders regarding delivery progress, risks, dependencies, and performance expectations.

Develop and maintain performance dashboards that provide clear visibility into squad operations, productivity, and delivery outcomes.

Promote the practical use of artificial intelligence across squads to support decision-making, organize workflows, improve communication, enhance software quality, and reduce delivery times.

Measure the impact of AI adoption on team productivity and delivery performance, encouraging effective and responsible use of these tools.
