• Manage POA release impact assessments (e.g., implications to existing quotes/orders).
• Maintain and publish Visual POA documentation (e.g., POA database, Visio/blacklines).
• Conduct sales-side cycle testing to validate configuration behavior, rule logic, and release readiness prior to production publication.
• Initiate and participate in continuous improvement projects (CIP) to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the team.
• Provide training support for new business partners on the POA process, roles, and responsibilities.
