• Serve as the first point of escalation for platform-level issues raised by makers, delivery teams, and the program manager, driving fast resolution of environment and connector blockers.

• Maintain documentation of platform configuration, standards, and runbooks, and contribute to the onboarding of new makers and agent developers across GHD.

• Support audit, risk, and compliance reviews relating to AI agent deployment, providing evidence of controls and attestations as required.
