• Independently assess the complexity and capability requirements of integration within individual projects
• Ensure projects have the appropriate support and professional sponsorship to meet integration objectives
• Perform integration assurance checks at the project, account, and portfolio level to identify risks, systemic issues, and opportunities for improvement or reuse

Requirements

• Strong business acumen with a clear understanding of technical API integration principles and tools
• Proven experience managing cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and external suppliers in complex environments
• Hands-on familiarity with modern integration tools and platforms, including IBM integration mechanisms and Kafka
