- Serve as technical authority in architecture and design governance forums, driving design decisions, identifying risks, and guiding tradeoffs
- Lead and mentor integration developers, engineers, and architects, ensuring alignment with standards, patterns, and delivery best practices
- Oversee end-to-end integration delivery, from discovery and design through build, testing, deployment, and operationalization
- Lead client workshops, architecture assessments, and roadmap development for integration and OT/IT convergence initiatives
