Responsibilities
Decision-Driven data & Integration Strategy
Design data and integration capabilities starting from business questions and decision needs, not tools or platforms
Partner with the SVP, Business Performance & Integration to define a pragmatic, outcome-based roadmap for data, integration, and automation
Ensure architectural decisions balance reliability, scalability, security, and business value
Align architecture strategy with the Steering Committee and the Office of the CISO
Data Platform Architecture

Own API lifecycle management including documentation, versioning, security, and performance
