• Act as the primary bridge between business collaborators and engineering teams, translating use cases into technical requirements, backlog items, and release plans.
• Run and support cross-functional project ceremonies (standups, backlog grooming, release readiness, weekly speech & text forums) and coordinate delivery across GCX, CSTech, CDT, Integration Services, and vendors.
• Build and validate privacy, redaction, and access-control approaches for transcripts, audio, and derived analytics in partnership with InfoSec and Privacy.
• Partner with analytics and BI teams to define metrics. Deliver dashboards and monitoring for usage, recall, performance, and operational health. Provide regular status and risk updates to director-level leadership.
• Build dashboards, reports, and operational insights related to customer experience and contact center performance.
