 * Run the operating rhythm - Chair the leads meetings, working group meetings, design reviews, and executive check-ins. Record decisions and actions, disseminate sitreps quickly and regularly, and follow up until open issues close.
 * Lead executive and contributor communication - Drive conversations, write regular reports, contribute to design documents, and produce decisional documents as needed. Say plainly what is on track, what is not, and where help is needed.
 * Maintain the risk register - Track risks, exceptions, and risk acceptances in one place and bring hard calls to the right decision maker.

 * Lead through other TPMs - Coordinate subject matter specific TPMs and engineering managers who do not report to you. Set shared standards, spot coverage gaps, and step in to augment capacity where needed.
 * Take coordination load off technical leaders - Find owners for cross-team problems, frame tradeoffs across Security, Safeguards, Research, Privacy, Legal, and Product, manage staffing tasks, and organize exercises that test our controls.

 * Work independently. You set direction without waiting for instructions and know when to make decisions and when to escalate.
 * Can command a room and hold senior engineers, researchers, and executives accountable without formal authority.
 * Write clearly and fast for any audience, from a one-page executive brief to a company-wide announcement.
 * Use AI tools like Claude to automate tracking, reporting, and follow-up.
 * Care about AI safety and want to help keep powerful systems under human oversight.
