- Deliver for Stakeholders: Partner on requirements and prioritization, and see the work through to completion
- Raise the Bar: Establish and document the standards that build operational maturity across the team and org
- Keep Things Running: Plan and execute routine maintenance and auditing, and take your turn in the on-call rotation
