* Drive the integration of infrastructure, network, and application observability into a unified platform.
* Collaborate with IT teams to ensure proper instrumentation and logging across all layers of the technology stack.
* Evaluate and implement automation in observability and alerting to reduce manual intervention and improve response times.
* Governance & Best Practices:
* Define and enforce observability standards, processes, policies, and best practices.
* Ensure compliance with security, audit, and operational requirements.
* Establish clear ownership and responsibilities for observability-related processes within IT teams.
