Key responsibilities:
- Align digital and information architecture with client strategy and operational objectives.

- Identify architectural risks and propose practical mitigations.
- Collaborate with delivery teams, technical specialists and stakeholders to ensure coherent solution development.
- Facilitate workshops to define future state architectures, operating models and transformation roadmaps.
