• You will identify duplication, fragmentation and capability gaps across the application landscape, turning complexity into clear, fact-based recommendations.
• You will shape multi-year transformation roadmaps that balance ambition, business value, risk, dependencies and delivery capacity.
• You will coach and align a federated community of architects, creating shared principles, stronger collaboration and more consistent enterprise thinking.
