• Escalate unresolved decisions, constraints and accountability gaps through the appropriate Commercial and cross-functional governance channels.
• Partner with IT and Data teams so Commercial requirements are reflected in platform configuration, integration planning, data models and identity strategy without assuming technical implementation ownership.
