Top 3 responsibilities

• Taking ownership of the product vision and roadmap for Platform Services, prioritizing based on value such as risk reduction, availability and scalability, and communicating this clearly to stakeholders.
• Stimulating and ensuring standardization, Infrastructure‑as‑Code reuse and self‑service to help squads deliver faster and more consistently with lower cognitive load.
• Validating approaches with CISO, architecture and consumers to help autonomous squads work demonstrably more securely in Azure, balancing preventive controls with detection.

You work from a clear vision, lead two squads, align closely with peer Product Owners (e.g., Consumer Services) and translate bank policies into platform features that accelerate adoption and security
