• Test and confirm core governance capabilities — runtime AI governance, risk/impact evaluation, monitoring and observability — behave as specified.
• Log, prioritize, and track defects and issues through resolution, coordinating directly with vendors technical teams.
• Coordinate with dependent teams within RO to align on resource needs and testing dependencies after each submission milestone.
• Contribute to defining the Definition of Done (DoD) and Definition of Ready (DoR) for the team's Kanban board.
• Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with the pilot end-user cohort and capture structured feedback.
