Our take: The real work here is knitting planning, coding, review and verification across many teams into one coherent product experience, and winning support for it through influence rather than authority.

You will own the vision for how a whole software creation experience fits together, from planning through verification, connecting work that lives across many teams into one thing customers love. This suits someone who moves ideas forward by influence rather than authority, who enjoys making messy cross-team workflows feel simple, and who can stand in front of executives and make the case clearly. If turning scattered capabilities into a coherent product is the puzzle you find satisfying, this is your kind of role.
