Identify areas for joint GTM with the partner Develop internal capabilities/complementary toolsets to support the GTM strategyMaintain the relationship with partnersAct as the UST technical POC for the specific technology/solution areaTechnology Consulting:Define problem statement for the customerAnalyse application/ technology landscapeprocesstools and arrive at the solution options best fit for the clientAnalyse Cost Vs. Benefits of solution options Define the technology/ architecture roadmap for the client Articulate the cost vs. benefits of options to key stakeholders in customerInnovation and Thought Leadership:Participate in external forums (seminarspaper presentationetc.)Interact and engage with customers/ partners around new innovative ideasconceptsassets; as well as industry trends and implications Participate in Beta testing of products / joint lab setup with customer to explore application of new technologies / products Identify areas where components/accelerators or design patterns could be reused across different accounts Create documentsreportswhite papers (international/national) on the research findingsSales Support and Project Estimation:Develop collaterals for proposalsCompare various designs and propose appropriate technology solutions based on the understanding of the RFP and inputs from ArchitectsCalculate and present estimates based on high level designs to management for supporting go/ no-go decisionsReview estimations and resource planReview risk and mitigation plan Participate in client presentation and client visitsData Design & Definition:Ensure alignment of the high-level architecture with the existing client need and business logic / review design prepared by architectsEnsure the involvement of appropriate teams in data designEnsure technical integrate abilityrequirements compliance of the solutionespecially in case of a multi group / multi-vendor programInvolve external partners / horizontals as appropriateProvide guidance to the team around the usage of data architecture and experience in solution implementationproduct selection and definitionconfigurationmigration and transformations between cloud and hosted solutions. Take responsibility for developing cutting edge wallet applications Ensure UST architecture principles and QOA (Quality of Architecture) are maintained. Analyse trade-offs and provide recommendationsif anyon the data architectureIdentify opportunities for efficiency improvements.Understand the various work streams and the technologies necessary to deliver on large programs Resolve any issues based on industry expertise / partners leverageProvide best in class technology and solution options to customers with detailed examples and case studies. Guide customer on process and technology improvements to achieve agility and quick resultsProject Management Support:Proactive identification and management of technical risksStakeholder Management:Build credibility with the client as a technical go-to person Work to expand professional network in the client organizationNew Service Design:Identify potential opportunities for new service offerings based on customer voice/ partner inputs / industry connects and trendsSupport the development of business case for investments for approval from management Work with partners to co-develop a joint GTM (as applicable) Develop IP/tools and framework to address the opportunity technically Lead beta testing / POC as applicable Develop collateralsguides for GTMSkill Examples:     Use knowledge of technology trends to provide inputs on potential areas of opportunity for UST     Use knowledge of Architecture Concepts and Principles to create architecture catering to functional and non-functional requirements under guidance of the specialist. Re-engineer existing architecture solutions under the guidance of the specialist. Provide training on best practices in architecture under guidance     Use independent knowledge of Design Patterns Tools and Principles to create high level design for the given requirements.
