What you’ll do

• Support the Platform Engineering product operating rhythm by linking priorities, OKRs, roadmaps, and execution plans
• Coordinate OKR alignment across engineering, product, and partner teams to clarify outcomes, dependencies, and commitments
• Manage planning activities, including intake, milestone tracking, readiness reviews, leadership reporting, and follow-up
• Create visibility into progress, risks, blockers, and decisions using concise reporting, dashboards, and executive-ready materials
• Own a recurring product communications cadence (newsletters and roadmap updates) that keeps leadership, partner teams, and users informed on progress, releases, and changes
• Maintain and evolve a central product hub as the single source for discovery, ownership, support resources, and roadmap updates across engineering and partner teams
• Steward the hub’s structure and content, coordinating with product owners to keep descriptions, support models, and request paths accurate and current
• Operate and improve the intake process so requestors can route needs and navigate relevant governance and review checkpoints
• Drive adoption and awareness of platform products and capabilities, clarifying ownership and reducing ambiguity around where requests should go
• Partner with platform leaders and product owners to align priorities and delivery plans across engineering pillars and shared initiatives
• Help teams understand how work connects, which decisions are needed, and where dependencies require attention
• Maintain documentation of priorities, decisions, dependencies, and planning assumptions to support transparency and follow-through
• Support leadership forums and operating reviews by preparing agendas, readouts, decision logs, and action tracking
• Draft clear communications on priorities, planning expectations, OKR progress, roadmap changes, and organizational updates
• Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve consistency, and use AI or automation to reduce manual coordination and increase transparency

• Experience supporting planning processes, OKRs, roadmap management, reporting, or cross-functional delivery in a technology organization

• High organization and detail orientation, with comfort managing multiple workstreams across teams, timelines, and stakeholders
• Curiosity about platform technology and how large engineering organizations set direction and execute at scale
• A strong sense of ownership with a bias toward action and delivery
• Curious and analytical thinking to connect strategy, execution, and outcomes
• Comfort moving between detailed work and broader context
