The successful candidate will work closely with program leadership, enterprise architecture teams, cyber security specialists, IT operations, business stakeholders, vendors and implementation partners to deliver a cohesive and sustainable digital enterprise architecture.
About the Role

reporting, retention and metadata management.
Vendor & Platform Assurance
Review and assess architecture outputs from implementation partners and vendors.
Provide assurance across solution architecture, integration designs, environment strategies, migration approaches and operational readiness.
Identify architectural gaps, risks, dependencies and governance decisions requiring department endorsement.
