• Maintain implementation plans and critical path tracking, identifying and resolving risks proactively
• Manage deliverable acceptance processes, including review coordination and formal sign-offs
• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including planning, validation of acceptance criteria, coordination, and final approvals
• Serve as the primary operational interface with external vendors and partners
• Identify scope gaps and manage change requests through appropriate review and approval workflows
• Monitor service level commitments and initiate escalation when needed
• Review technical deliverables to ensure alignment with functional and operational requirements
• Coordinate infrastructure readiness activities with internal technical teams
• Support data validation activities, including KPI definitions, configuration baselines, and monitoring thresholds
• Contribute to requirements gathering, use case documentation, and acceptance criteria development
• Identify integration dependencies and mitigate risks impacting delivery timelines
• Maintain program documentation, including decision logs, meeting notes, action trackers, and status reports
• Manage delivery tracking tools and ensure visibility into progress across workstreams
• Ensure knowledge capture and documentation completeness across the program lifecycle
