• Prepare structured agendas aligned to the current stage of work and ensure each session results in clear decisions and next steps
• Proactively surface risks, dependencies, and misalignments early, coordinating across Product, Design, and Engineering to maintain momentum
• Ensure ideas, initiatives, epics, and stories move through the lifecycle in a consistent and intentional manner
• Provide visibility into overall initiative health across discovery, funded delivery, and post-launch impact
• Partner closely with Product Operations leadership to operationalize and reinforce the product operating model, identifying friction and strengthening execution discipline
