• Working with and across other areas of DDaT and the business to develop and document technical designs for the integration and implementation of any solution

• Presenting and championing recommendations to senior stakeholders across the agency, communicating complicated technical concepts concisely to non-technical users.

• Anticipating and advising on future technology that presents opportunities for the organisation

• Managing, coaching and mentoring other technical architects and members of the wider technology team

• Forging close working relationships across other government and health technical architecture communities, exploring the benefits of cross-government alignment
