• Align product managers, platform architects, and engineering teams around common integration principles, standards, and priorities.
• Work closely with Global Engineering leadership to align on architectural decisions, integration frameworks, and platform priorities.
• Define cross-platform requirements early to prevent fragmentation and ensure consistency across product lines.
• Define and drive shared cross-platform roadmap priorities to ensure reuse, consistency, and convergence across Reader BU platforms.
• Drive reuse of common components, services, and integration frameworks across platforms, reducing duplication and accelerating time to market.
• Work with close colleagues to establish a coherent model for how devices, firmware, SDKs, APIs, and cloud services interact across platforms.
• Ensure a consistent and scalable developer and integration experience across all reader platforms.
• Define how Reader BU platforms integrate with external ecosystems, partners, and enterprise architectures.
• Act as the central point of coordination for cross-product and cross-BU integration topics and dependencies.
• Define monetization strategies for integration capabilities, including APIs, services, and ecosystem participation.
• Contribute to relevant industry standards bodies and alliances to ensure alignment and interoperability of Reader BU platforms.
• Maintain a strong understanding of technology trends, competitive ecosystems, and evolving integration models.
• Gather customer, partner, and field feedback to identify integration gaps and prioritize improvements.
• Manage integration capabilities across their full lifecycle, from concept through delivery and continuous improvement.
• Support go-to-market activities with clear positioning, messaging, and enablement around integration capabilities.
