Provide practical guidance and support while escalating issues where necessary to maintain delivery pace and fulfil commitments.
Promote alignment across Project Management, Development, QA, DevOps, and Product teams to ensure timelines are achieved and testing activities are effectively coordinated.
Anticipate, track, and resolve cross-team dependencies, escalating critical blockers and facilitating timely resolutions to keep delivery on track.

Manage production readiness activities, including smoke testing and readiness assessments, to support stable and seamless production deployments.
Deliver clear and consistent reporting to stakeholders, including risk assessments, delivery updates, and key testing metrics.
