• Support complex problem-solving, performance optimization, and integration design.
• Ensure compliance with VAT’s ERP governance, documentation, and security standards.

• Experience in solution governance, design validation, and architecture documentation.
• Familiarity with Azure integration services, Power Platform, and lifecycle management tools (LCS).
