• Stakeholder Collaboration & Enablement.
• Requirements Translation: Partner closely with IT Asset Managers, Procurement, and ITIL process owners to translate business licensing rules into technical platform specifications.
• Knowledge Transfer: Author technical architecture documents, administrative runbooks, and user-facing knowledge bases; mentor and onboard fellow team members.

What Sets You Apart:
