• Participate in Architecture Review Boards (ARB) to present finance domain architecture.
• Engage directly with delivery teams by reviewing designs, guiding implementation decisions, and resolving complex architecture trade‑offs.
• Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies, including cloud migration, AI/ML in finance, and real‑time reporting, and monitor industry best practices and regulatory trends, recommending innovations that enhance finance operations and compliance.

• Familiarity with AI/ML architecture patterns for finance (anomaly detection, forecasting, close automation, etc.)
• Distributed architecture experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid integration patterns.
• Ability to operate at a conceptual level while remaining hands‑on where it matters.
• Willingness to challenge legacy patterns to drive durable, compliant, long‑term outcomes.
• Demonstrated success modernizing fragmented financial applications into integrated end‑to‑end financial solutions.
