3) Consulting & Advisory
* Advise executives on digital asset information strategy, data governance, and enterprise information architecture.
* Develop high‑level functional designs, role models, UX workflows, and information lifecycle strategies across engineering, operations, and maintenance.
* Run architecture assurance reviews; recommend optimization, performance tuning, and scalability improvements.
4) Pre‑Sales & Bid Support
* Shape technical win strategies; lead workshops, demos, and technical evaluations.
* Produce architecture diagrams, deployment models, integration maps, BOMs, and proposal content.
* Support estimation, sizing, and risk identification for complex, multi‑solution opportunities.
5) Delivery Governance & Quality
* Provide architectural oversight throughout delivery; ensure adherence to best practices and security standards.
* Lead critical issue resolution across application, data, integration, and infrastructure layers.
* Mentor and enable consultants, information engineers, and offshore teams; develop reusable accelerators and templates.
