- Triage incoming needs and questions from external teams, find home of best fit
- Collaborate with Hub Owners, Hub IT Lead, and other Hub stakeholders to define, manage and help ensure the hub backlog align with OKRs.
- Support preparation and own content for key workshops and sessions (e.g. sponsor meetings)
- Facilitate large events such as Quarterly Increment Planning, Scaled Ceremonies, Hub Retrospective sessions
- Maintains consistent solution design and technical practices across Hub’s squads
- Communicates on the state of the agility of the team on different dimensions (technical, process, team collaboration, organizational obstacles etc.)
- Own tracking and reporting on objectives & key results, financials and resourcing etc.
- Support in tracking the execution of Features in the Hub backlog, ensuring the feature readiness to the squad align with defined definition of ready and the completed feature meet definition of done

- Facilitate agile ceremonies including sprint planning, sprint review and retrospectives
- Create a forum for discussing vision, goals, and Product Backlog items amongst the team
- Identify, manage, and help mitigate issues and risks, with particular emphasis on timely removal of impediments for the team and/or directing obstacles to appropriate owners for quick resolution
