• Ensure all implementations adhere to our architectural guidelines and uphold the highest standards of the bank's best practices
• Collaborate closely with other Chapter Leads within your tribe to fulfil leadership responsibilities and address challenges together

About you:

• Extensive experience with enterprise platform solutions, specializing in infrastructure and data integration
