There's actually a someone I work with that's basically that. Essentially, their job is to communicate across teams to coordinate product releases. They're not involved in deciding what's in those releases, they just needs to know what's going in each one and when it's happening. They also do something with budget approvals.
Basically, they just look at Jira and spreadsheets, and I didn't think they really make changes to either. We could 100% do without that role, at least from my perspective.
Then again, we're not worried about job security here. We have good funding, we're expanding our team, and my boss is generally against AI. But if I had to suggest someone to let go, it would be that person. It's a really weird role and they don't really have any unique skills, but whatever.
