Regulatory, Risk & Compliance Leadership:

• Ensure all platform and ops systems are audit-ready by design, with full traceability and reporting.
• Lead product responses to regulatory findings, audits, and remediation initiatives.

Roadmap Ownership & Cross-Squad Alignment:

• Own and communicate a multi-quarter platform roadmap, balancing:
• Regulatory commitments
• Operational efficiency
• Product enablement and scalability
• Drive prioritization decisions that consider company-wide impact and long-term platform health.

Execution, Quality & Resilience:

• Work closely with engineering leadership to define and enforce:

• Business continuity and disaster recovery expectations
• Ensure safe delivery through staged rollouts, monitoring, and incident management practices.

Metrics, Outcomes & Continuous Improvement:

Define and own senior-level platform KPIs, including:

• Platform adoption and reuse across squads
• Integration reliability and failure rates
• Operational efficiency gains
• Reduction in manual and high-risk processes
• Use data, incidents, and audit outcomes to drive continuous improvement.

• Experience working directly with regulators, auditors, or compliance reviews.
