• Strategic partnership: Act as a trusted advisor to Product & Technology and AI leaders and their staff, turning business priorities into people plans covering org design, talent, and culture.
• Org design & workforce planning: Lead org design, span-and-layer reviews, and headcount planning, and plan how AI adoption changes roles, skills, and team structures.
• Talent & succession: Run talent reviews, succession planning, and calibration, and build plans to retain critical engineering and product talent.

• Data-driven insights: Use people data such as attrition, engagement, hiring speed, and org health to spot trends and drive decisions.
• Culture & engagement: Act on engagement survey results and build an inclusive, high-performing engineering culture.
