Govern migrations with a structured lifecycle, drive SaaS adoption strategy, and decide on hybrid vs cloud, tool consolidation, and rationalisation.

• Architect Azure‑based enterprise platform and SaaS ecosystem. Ensure infrastructure supports ERP workloads, AMS monitoring, observability, high availability, disaster recovery, and scalable, cost‑optimized platform strategies.
• Lead architecture and adoption of AI/ML and intelligent systems, ensuring production‑readiness, governance under AMS, alignment with responsible AI principles, compliance monitoring, and lifecycle management.
• Embed security, IAM, and compliance into all architectures. Act as governance authority across applications, ERP, and AMS. Define standards, patterns, and guardrails for enterprise systems.
• Lead vendor strategy, governance, and software asset management. Collaborate with procurement on licensing and contract optimisation. Manage system integrators, SaaS vendors, AMS service providers.
• Align architectural designs with real‑world operations (AMS). Work with engineering teams, DevOps, support team to reduce L2/L3 escalations, cost‑effective solutions, and build internal capability.
