• Establish and run product and risk governance frameworks including documentation standards and audit-ready record keeping
• Partner effectively with product managers across GTFS and SSV to maintain compliance with legal, regulatory and industry standards
• Produce high-quality written materials and deliver clear presentations for senior stakeholders and clients
