- Advise and support the Marketing Operations team on optimal application configuration methodologies, ensuring simplification of support, efficient updates, and full alignment with business stakeholder requirements.
- Lead client-facing discovery workshops and architecture sessions, translating complex decisioning concepts and design rationale to multi-level stakeholders with clarity, authority, and confidence — building trust in the proposed design and implementation journey.
- Drive the design and delivery of new Pega CDH product features not yet implemented at our clients, while mentoring Senior Decisioning Architects and developers across global onsite and offshore teams.
