• Coordinating with each Deployment-team on service deliverables: Deployment Readiness (DR), Systems Integration (SI), Deployment Engineering (Int’l and NA RDE), Strategy & Operations (S&O), Retrofit Readiness (RR) on clear definition of the Customer Delivery Solution (set of services) and the respective measures of delivery success
• Establishing a mechanism and cadence to manage total Customer Delivery Solution status by deployment service
• Managing escalations or misalignments when there are risks to delivering committed services with high quality
• Managing tradeoff decisions with customers, stakeholders, and partner teams when there are conflicting priorities
• Working with Deployment teams to determine whether a decision is a one-way or two-way door; managing necessary discussions with customer and partner teams to manage expectations, impacts, and risks, associated with said decision(s)
• Ensuring role clarity as it relates to the service delivery teams and escalating to functional leadership when there are misalignments that impact delivering on commitments
• Developing and publishing a clear RACI to create transparency with customer teams and to drive ownership and accountability
• Leading any associated Lessons Learned, Root Cause Analysis, or Retrospectives with regard to Customer Solution Delivery

About the team
As the TPM for Storage Solutions Deployment you seek to maximize decision-making velocity by removing obstacles, but recognize that maintaining reporting lines within functional disciplines is good for raising the bar within a discipline to achieve greater efficiency; you rely heavily on getting work done through others and you are a master of influencing others to meet deliverables. The Storage Solutions Deployment STL works across service owners in Deployment to drive prioritization, maintain commitments, and manage all of the associated cross-team communication.

While the Storage Solutions STL does not ultimately own headcount allocation by service, you are empowered to audit, evaluate, and escalate risk to the functional leader when headcount allocation is a driver of service delivery risk.
