•        Experience challenging and changing organizational structures that block team effectiveness - not just working around them

•        Drives DORA metric baseline: deployment frequency, change failure rate, MTTR are tracked and improving

•        Cross-team impediments are owned and driven to resolution - not left in a shared log

•        Contributes to the engineering standards playbook - not just applies it

•        Conducts structured capability reviews for junior and mid-level SMs under their oversight" Skills: Leadership Essentials - Managing Secure Delivery and Operations~Project Management
