• Chair or contribute to architecture governance forums, ensuring reviews improve outcomes, accelerate decisions and avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Influence senior business and technology stakeholders, constructively challenging proposals where required and creating alignment across product, engineering, data, security, operations and delivery teams.
