This is a high-leverage role that goes beyond traditional tech expertise. You won't be managing large teams directly, but you will lead through influence, helping the CPO focus on high-impact initiatives, remove roadblocks, and elevate performance across the organization.

Candidates from diverse professional backgrounds who are skilled at driving alignment, solving complex problems, and leading cross-functional initiatives are encouraged to apply.
