Ensure all-company readiness and post-launch execution alignment, aligning Sales, Marketing, Client Relations, Support, and Professional Services to deliver consistent implementation, adoption, support, and operational follow-through

2. Launch Governance & Accountability

Define and enforce a standardized, phase-gated launch framework (tollgates, entry/exit criteria, success measures)
Track progress, identify risks, and drive accountability to maintain momentum, resolving cross-functional dependencies and execution tradeoffs

Coordinate go-to-market, launch, and ongoing client communication across Marketing, Solution Management, Engineering/DevOps, and Client Relations
Establish and enforce standardized communication practices and coordination points across the lifecycle, reducing fragmentation and ensuring consistency across teams

4. Data, Metrics & Performance Visibility

Partner with Solution Management and data teams to advance and evolve client-facing reporting and analytics capabilities, ensuring alignment to market needs and strategic differentiation
Define and track KPIs for launch success and client impact (e.g., on-time GA, adoption, quality, measurable outcomes)
Develop reporting to provide visibility into launch readiness, execution risks, post-launch performance, and ongoing solution value

5. Innovation & Rapid Proof of Concept (POC) Enablement

Establish and lead a lean, cross-functional POC capability to rapidly test new concepts and opportunities
Define intake, prioritization, and success criteria to support rapid experimentation, informed go/no-go decisions
Transition validated POCs into the formal launch pipeline for scaled delivery under established launch governance

6. Enterprise Transformation Office (ETO) Activation

Stand up Innovation & Launch capability, including governance, tollgates, and readiness model
Lead enterprise project coordination for priority initiatives, aligning to ETO governance (in partnership with leadership)
Establish cross-functional operating rhythms, including execution cadences, escalation paths, and stakeholder alignment

Support the development of the broader ETO model, informing structure, role design, and scaling approach over time
May lead or coordinate adjacent ETO capabilities (e.g., enterprise project management and cross-functional execution) until dedicated roles are established, ensuring aligned execution and continuity of priority initiatives

7. Continuous Improvement & Capability Build

Standardize launch and innovation practices across solutions to reduce variability and improve predictability, release velocity, and scalability across the organization
Evolve the Enterprise Launch & Innovation function to support SSI’s growth and strategic priorities
