  • Contribute to roadmap planning, execution oversight, risk identification, and cross-team coordination to ensure predictable and effective delivery in an Agile / Scrum environment.
  • Collaborate across teams to resolve complex technical and organizational challenges, influence decision-making, and strengthen alignment between engineering and business priorities.
  • Stay current with emerging frontend technologies, AI-related development trends, and industry best practices, and apply them where they create measurable value for the organization.
  • Comply with QHSE (Quality Health Safety and Environment), Business Continuity, Information Security, Privacy, Risk, Compliance Management and Governance of Organizations policies, procedures, plans and related risk assessments.

Key Requirements
