Ensure technical deliverables meet rigorous quality standards, align with strategic objectives, and foster a referenceable client experience that strengthens Crowe's reputation.

Proactively identify and pursue opportunities for collaboration with broader Crowe Technical specialists and Microsoft FastTrack to enhance project outcomes. Copilot & AI Enablement Build ERP and integration solutions that surface the right data in the right way, enabling Copilot, reporting, and advanced analytics.

Strong integration track record (OData/REST, webhooks/events, batch/ETL via ADF/Fabric, message based patterns). Demonstrated ownership of non-functional design (security, performance, resiliency, observability) with measurable SLOs and test strategies. Production experience with ALM (solutions, pipelines, Git, unit/automated UI tests). Strong grasp of security & governance (Entra ID, RBAC, DLP, environment strategy).
