- Produce business requirements with a defined SLA for the partner teams' network, strategy, supply chain, delivery and third-party providers to get their proposal with TCO.
- Influence long-term infrastructure roadmap, identifying opportunities to optimize cost, resiliency, and deployment velocity.
- Lead quarterly and annual planning cycles; present capacity strategies and updates to cross-functional leadership.
