• Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, highly available, upgradeable, and aligned with enterprise technology standards.
• Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance to project and delivery teams.
• Review and approve solution designs, integrations, configurations, and technical implementations.
• Identify opportunities for automation, self-service, AI, and digital transformation within HR service delivery.
