* Provide architectural oversight for identity, access and remote access designs, aligned to established IAM and zero‑trust patterns.
* Work with Service Management teams to ensure alignment with ITSM processes, tooling and support models.
* Provide ongoing design assurance and governance throughout delivery, reviewing designs and implementation artefacts.
* Support transition to BAU, ensuring technologies are operationally ready and supportable.
