• Coordinate release activities across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Testing, Business Readiness, Change Management, Security, Controls, and operations teams.

• Ensure data migration and release activities comply with accounting, audit, security, privacy, retention, and internal-control requirements.
• Identify and resolve cross-functional risks and dependencies that could affect migration quality, release timing.
• Create updates for senior leaders covering progress, risks, decisions, quality results, readiness, and required interventions.
