- Bring together Engineering, Product, Procurement, Legal, and Compliance teams around shared programme objectives, resolving cross-functional dependencies and keeping customer commitments on track

- Oversee qualification, testing, and trial campaigns, maintaining a live view of programme schedule, risk, and budget to surface issues early and keep delivery on course

- Ensure platform and system development remains compliant with MIL-Spec standards, STANAG and NATO requirements, airworthiness regulations, and all relevant security and contractual obligations throughout the programme lifecycle
