## About the role

Run the planning cycle from intake through close-out. Lead planning sessions with PMs and EMs, and make sure requirements are clear enough to break down and design against before a team commits to the work. Hold teams to the planning process. When a step gets skipped, work with the PM and EM to get it back on track, and bring it to the VPs only when the teams can't resolve it themselves.

## What they're looking for

- You keep plans honest without turning planning into bureaucracy. Teams leave your sessions with a clearer plan and less overhead
- You have the engineering depth to question an estimate on its merits. You can tell when a size ignores a team's past velocity or leaves out integration and deployment work
- You say a date is at risk while there is still time to do something about it, and you say it in plain terms
- PMs and EMs trust you because you help fix the problems you find
- You hold product, engineering, and leadership to the same standard, and people on every side trust your read of the plan
- You use data on estimates and outcomes to make planning better each cycle, and you share it in a way that helps teams improve
