* Align individual performance and career planning with departmental goals, while partnering with TPMs on capacity planning to ensure the right headcount and skill mix are available to execute the roadmap
* Cultivate a collaborative environment centered on open communication, fostering fearless feedback and blameless retrospectives to drive continuous improvement
* Ensure teams are properly staffed and skilled to execute against product mandates, while coaching teams on DORA metrics (velocity & stability) to remove blockers and improve throughput
* Partner with Tech Leads to apply DORA and SPACE to balance delivery and sustainability: improve throughput and stability (DORA) while monitoring engagement and cognitive load (SPACE), using staffing, scope, and operational improvements to prevent burnout
