  • Fully document relevant processes and ensure they are agreed to by all relevant stakeholders. You will need to be able to manage active and reactive conversations, know when to escalate, and know when to act
  • Be a senior Subject Matter Expert in a small team of Improvement Architects identifying problems in the team and ensuring you give constructive and adaptive feedback geared towards achieving successful outcomes
  • Engage with Third Party providers where appropriate to ensure plans are seen through to completion
  • Proactively support the wider rollout of Governance principles in our Technology Estate, being able to assure standards
