3. Way of Working & Standards

4. Workforce Planning & Talent Strategy

• Perform strategic workforce planning together with the Chapter Area Lead
• Identify skill gaps and define training and upskilling initiatives
• Actively contribute to recruitment (interviews, selection criteria, hiring decisions)
• Balance capacity, skills, and demand across squads and initiatives

5. Collaboration within the Product Grid

• Work closely with Product Owners, Architects, and other Chapter Leads
• Contribute as an active engineer in delivery squads
• Ensure that technical and non-functional requirements are embedded in delivery
