    • 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
