• Serve as the technical accuracy gate for platform‑specific DD assets: validate "how it works at Takeda" guidance, maintain FAQs/known‑issues, and define practical guardrails and approved practices.
• Sign off on technical content prior to publish to reduce learner confusion and rework.
• Own delivery of high‑credibility enablement moments: demos, office hours, tech‑update sessions, SME Q&A, and SME staffing for DD Live/regional events.
• Develop reusable delivery playbooks (runbooks, demo scripts, SME briefing notes) and ensure enablement is consistently high quality across regions.

• Ensure coverage for champions calls, office hours and local activations, and coordinate SME handoffs with the Product Owner and Program Manager.

• Ensure clear acceptance criteria and sign‑offs for tool‑specific learning assets.
• Act as the primary liaison to platform/product owners (DPE, Microsoft product owners, etc.), negotiating SME access and influence over timelines.
• Work closely with Change Enablement to sequence messages and with Reporting & Measurement to ensure telemetry/usage is interpreted correctly.
• Maintain a "technical accuracy" living register (known issues, workarounds) and incorporate feedback loops from Champions and regional delivery into improvements.
• Drive post‑release reviews for major launches and adapt SME playbooks to minimize recurring issues.
• Remain current on digital and emerging technologies and trends.
• As a member of the Learning & Development team support other team activities as needed.

• Strong stakeholder management and negotiation experience with product/platform teams; experience establishing SLAs and managing cross‑functional dependencies.
• Practical understanding of Microsoft 365 ecosystem and enterprise collaboration platforms (Teams, SharePoint) and an appreciation for AI/agentic tooling (Copilot/my Aibou).
