• Architecture Practice Hub Ownership: Act as Product Owner for the SharePoint hub, driving continuous improvement, communications, reporting, and executive-level visualisation.
• Strategic Research & Insight: Research emerging technologies, market trends, and policy changes to inform strategic thinking and decision-making.
• Technology & Architecture Strategy: Develop long- and medium-term technology and architecture strategies aligned to corporate objectives.
• Executive Engagement & Storytelling: Lead workshops and develop concise, data-driven materials to support senior leadership decision-making.
• Architecture Operating Model Improvement: Uplift the Architecture Practice through ongoing refinement of governance, standards, and operating rhythms.
