Partner with Enterprise Architecture to ensure approved tools align with enterprise standards, target architecture, and preferred application development patterns. Maintain a reliable inventory of systems and tools by coordinating with stakeholders across the firm to document ownership, renewal timing, entitlements, and supporting technical details.

Monitor market developments, regulatory expectations, and emerging technologies to guide continuous improvement of the organization's tooling and change management approach. Requirements
