  • Ensure products, platforms, and projects comply with technology domain architecture standards and support ongoing architectural review processes.
  • Anticipate architectural gaps and emerging industry trends, recommending improvements that reduce risk and long-term technology debt.
  • Map business processes and sub-processes to technology solutions, bridging business challenges with architectural outcomes.
  • Protect the interests of TD by identifying, managing, and escalating non-standard or high-risk activities as required.
