Join a fast-paced environment where precision meets innovation – and make technology work smarter, faster, and more reliably than ever before!
Key Outcomes (What success looks like)
- Integration scope, dependencies, and technical approach are defined, agreed, and signed off.
- Solution design and delivery are aligned with enterprise architecture standards and non-functional requirements (security, scalability, performance).
- Delivery risks/issues are proactively identified, tracked, escalated, and resolved with stakeholder alignment.
- Testing, cutover, and go-live activities are coordinated and executed with minimal disruption.
- Complete handover documentation is delivered, and operational readiness is achieved (support model, runbooks, knowledge transfer).
Key Responsibilities (Core accountabilities)
- Scope & requirements alignment: Ensure client needs are accurately captured, translated into technical scope, and formally signed off.
- Integration planning & coordination: Build and manage the integration workstream plan, milestones, dependencies, resources, and schedules.

- Technical oversight: Coordinate system/interface design alignment; ensure integration standards and design principles are applied.
- Vendor & Partner Management: Manage delivery inputs from vendors/development partners and confirm solutions fit the agreed integration approach.
- Quality assurance: Ensure test plans, environments, and evidence support readiness; coordinate defect triage and resolution.
- Risk, issue & change control: Perform impact assessments; manage deviations against plan; support formal change processes and governance reporting.
- Cutover & transition: Coordinate cutover planning, rollback approach, hypercare, and operational handover.
- Documentation: Ensure complete, accurate technical documentation (integration specs, configurations, runbooks) is produced and maintained.
Key Activities (Typical tasks)
- Contribute to an integration roadmap for the project and define sequencing to minimise disruption.
- Facilitate technical workshops and lead cross-team integration working sessions.
- Track progress against milestones and provide clear status updates (RAID, dependencies, decisions).
- Support troubleshooting of integration incidents during test and deployment phases.
- Ensure training/enablement needs are identified and arranged where required.
