- Engage senior leadership with transparent product updates, plans, and performance metrics.
- Work with Regional Delivery Managers to manage supplier relations and regional execution.
Lifecycle & Delivery Management
- Act as the voice of the customer, translating operational insights into actionable backlogs.
- Oversee full product lifecycles from initial ideation and deployment to long‑term retirement.
- Ensure high operational observability, telemetry, monitoring, and robust system recovery.
Technical Focus Areas
You will champion product evolution across these core foundational domains:
- Airport Connectivity: Network infrastructure, Operational Base Offices (OBOs), and hangars.
- Identity & Endpoints: Access management, federation services, and global device management.
- Workspace Enablement: Operational printing, meeting room tech, and front‑line workspace tools.
