• Partner closely with business stakeholders to build trusted relationships, understand strategic objectives, and provide guidance on technology options, trade‑offs, and delivery approaches to support informed decision‑making.
• Contribute to defining and evolving technical standards, delivery frameworks, and governance practices for the CRM Platform team.
• Mentor and guide technical staff and delivery teams, fostering strong collaboration, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement.

• A strong understanding of secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC), including risk management, secure design, and compliance obligations.
• Demonstrated experience leading or influencing complex, multi‑stream technology initiatives, with the ability to operate as a trusted advisor across business and technology stakeholders in large, enterprise environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder‑engagement skills, with the ability to influence decisions, build trust, and advise senior leaders in complex environments.
