  • Drive production readiness, including clear operational guidance for support and operations teams.
  • Lead new alert types and data integrations from pilot phases through to full deployment.
  • Maintain continuous feedback loops with users and stakeholders who receive and respond to alerts.
  • Monitor delivery metrics and model-health metrics, including accuracy, coverage, and timeliness.
  • Identify and escalate model degradation risks early.
  • Translate product strategy and real-world disruption patterns into clear, development-ready requirements.
  • Make sound, informed in-sprint decisions whilst escalating critical issues when required.
  • Contribute to a safe, inclusive, and accessible work environment where all Flighties feel welcomed, respected, and supported to thrive.
