• Govern MHE vendor engagement, interface design, testing strategies, architecture reviews, and deployment readiness across implementation teams and third-party providers.
• Design and oversee MAWM extensibility solutions, including ProActive extensions, APIs, workflows, UI enhancements, and upgrade-safe customizations aligned with Manhattan best practices.
• Provide program-level technical leadership by establishing architecture standards, driving key technical decisions, supporting multi-site rollouts, and ensuring successful deployments through hypercare.
