If something needs to get done, it's your job to make sure it gets prioritized.
You are the main connector across teams and roles.
You will push for alignment across all stakeholders to avoid potential miscommunications or misunderstandings.
People come to you for a wide range of issues/problems that need solving.
You aren't going to have all the answers, but you take action to communicate with those who do.
You need to be okay with saying "No".
