• Omnichannel & Integration Design: Architect API-first and event-driven integrations between customer service platforms and core banking systems, CRM, identity systems, and operational platforms to deliver seamless customer journeys.
• AI & Automation Enablement: Design and implement AI-driven customer service capabilities such as conversational bots, agent assist, case classification, summarisation, and knowledge retrieval while ensuring security, privacy, and responsible AI usage.
• Workflow & Case Management: Define scalable case lifecycle, SLA management, escalation, and automation strategies to reduce manual effort and improve first-contact resolution.
• Performance & Observability: Ensure customer service platforms meet non-functional requirements including performance, reliability, availability, and observability. Proactively identify architecture improvements to optimise cost-to-serve and system efficiency.
• Security & Compliance: Implement architecture patterns that ensure data protection, access control, auditability, and compliance with banking and regulatory requirements across customer-facing and internal systems.
• Collaboration: Work closely with Customer Experience, Operations, Product, Engineering, Data, and Security teams to translate business needs into clear, actionable solution designs.
• Consulting & Continuous Improvement: Provide architectural guidance, troubleshoot complex platform issues, and stay updated with industry trends, AI advancements, and best practices in customer service technology.
