Define the AI/intelligent automation roadmap: which use cases justify Virtual Agent, Predictive Intelligence, Now Assist, or custom GenAI integration, and in what sequence.
Lead architecture review boards and design walkthroughs with client technical leadership and enterprise architecture teams.
Own non-functional requirements: performance, scalability, data retention, security, and compliance (including audit considerations for regulated engagements).
Provide technical oversight and mentoring to Technology Leads across workstreams; resolve cross-workstream design conflicts.
Support pre-sales and solutioning efforts: scope estimation, technical risk assessment, and proposal architecture content.
