Leading technical milestones from planning through deployment, ensuring risks are managed and outcomes are delivered on time and to a high standard.
Ensuring all solutions align with established architectural principles and guidelines.
Working with a broad range of stakeholders on application design and integration and supporting change by understanding their needs.
Overseeing the operational handover of integration components to ensure they are well‑maintained and supported into business‑as‑usual operations.
What You Will Need to Succeed:

Other expectations:
Active participation in planning activities and commitment to corporate responsibilities.
