• Surface architectural risks early and recommend mitigation strategies aligned with PLM governance standards.
• Act as a senior advisor to technical leadership, PLM owners, and program managers.
• Lead architectural reviews, roadmap planning sessions, and executive‑level technical briefings.
• Partner closely with system integrators while maintaining an advisory rather than delivery role.
