• Ensure technical solutions align with the Trust’s EPR roadmap, including integration with platforms.
  
  
• Provide subject matter expertise and procedural guidance in build meetings, huddles, and design handover sessions.
  
  
• Maintain formal documentation aligned with configuration management tools (e.g., DevOps, LeanIX).
  
  
• Co-author options papers and contribute to strategic technical design decisions.
  
  Essential Skills & Experience:

  Key Deliverables (Months 1–3):
  
  
• Future-state process mapping and technical validation.
  
  
• Specification of system integration touchpoints
