Act as Primary Point of Contact for internal and external stakeholders for new solution testing.

Participate in multi-stakeholder solution workshops (business, IT, OT, security, finance) to confirm scope, value, and risk; convert outcomes into roadmaps with clear milestones and success criteria.

Define standardized interfaces, data contracts, and security controls to ensure seamless interoperability between communications platforms, edge devices, monitoring/analytics, and cloud services.

Establish solution acceptance criteria and run‑readiness (SLAs/SLOs, resilience, failover, monitoring, support model) to guarantee lifecycle performance and client satisfaction.

Partner with delivery, operations, and support teams to hand over an integrated service that maintains solution integrity over time.

Support commercial teams by shaping solution packages (scope, assumptions, pricing drivers) and articulating integrated value in client presentations and proposals.

Identify opportunities for modernization and innovation (e.g., AI/ML, edge computing, IoT).

Participate in architecture review boards and ensure compliance with enterprise governance.

Research and recommend emerging technologies relevant to business needs.
