• Provide clear status updates and proactively escalate PI platform risks or blockers.

Documentation & Operational Readiness

• Produce and maintain PI architecture documentation, SOPs, runbooks, and deployment procedures.
• Support production readiness, testing discipline, and post-deployment support.

GenAI (Supporting Capability)

• Support GenAI proof-of-concepts related to PI data usage, automation, or internal productivity (secondary focus).
