• Create clear and comprehensive documentation of data flows and solution designs, ensuring they are traceable, auditable, and easy to maintain.
• Ensure all systems introduced are respectful of privacy and security standards, fully adhering to GDPR and internal security policies.
• Provide supportive guidance to a matrix (virtual) team of technical experts, helping them deliver network design solutions and offering thoughtful technical advice to a wider team, including internal colleagues and supplier partners.
