• Participating in technical requirements and design sessions with clients, conducted remotely or at client premises as directed by Imminently, to inform software design and development.
• Providing technical advice and expertise to Delivery Leads, internal teams and clients on software design, system capability and the efficient use of Imminently's platforms.
