Resilience Improvements: Use incident data to reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) across all services
Coach & Mentor: Support and develop other Response Managers, Engineers on-call, and team leads in their incident response skills
Partner with Engineering & Product: Help integrate incident learnings into product roadmaps, technical debt planning, and deployment strategies
