• Operational Housekeeping: Manage technical operations backlog: provision and manage API keys, monitor AI policy compliance, and maintain approved AI tool registries.
• Access Control: Manage team access controls, repository/project group permissions, and Google Cloud project IAM roles (such as Editor/Viewer allocations).
• Performance & Accessibility Audits: Execute and document static performance, compliance, and accessibility audits across staging environments before production releases to ensure "Google-Grade" standards.
• Workflow Coordination: Coordinate with client-side technical liaisons and internal project managers to streamline code style reviews and secure deployment approvals.
