Coordinate the design, development, testing, and deployment of features into production across multiple technical teams. Create and track project milestones, risks, and dependencies, and describe, own, and prioritize all technical requirements associated with delivery.

Dive deep to understand the design details of the systems in your area, especially those related to customer interfaces and the expectations for system dependencies.
