• Advise business and technology stakeholders on architectural tradeoffs and recommendations

• Interpret and refine business requirements using workshops, design sessions, prototyping, and modeling

• Understand and document system dependencies, integration points, and data flows across the rental ecosystem

• Create and maintain architecture documentation including solution designs, technical specifications, and release artifacts

• Collaborate with Operations leaders, Program Directors, and Vendors to solve complex cross-functional challenges
