Lead requirements validation sessions with business stakeholders to ensure clarity, completeness, and alignment

Keep IT executive leadership informed, escalate critical developments, and route validated changes for review and approval with concise summaries on business value, execution effort, and adherence to governance standards

Protect operations by maintaining confidentiality of business data and following sound access and change practices

Performance Measurements

Ensure quality above all, working toward the most knowledgeable and effective service team
