3. Partner Data Engagement
   • Support discovery and analysis of MGA and TPA data capabilities, formats, and system constraints.
   • Develop and maintain partner system capability matrix.
   • Contribute to the design of partner data onboarding playbooks and interface approaches (real-time API and bordereaux).

   • Provide analysis support for future partner onboarding execution where required.
4. Operating Model & Governance
   • Support the design and documentation of the GSI Delegated Authority Data Intake Operating Model.
   • Facilitate SME Councils, BU discovery sessions, and Data Governance forums.
   • Drive alignment across Business Units to the GSI landing data standards and intake approach.
