Develop business cases, process maps, requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, decision records, traceability, and other analysis deliverables appropriate to the initiative.

Create and execute test strategies and scenarios that validate end-to-end business processes, integrations, reports, controls, and data quality. Maintain a well-defined backlog of enhancements and defects, clarify acceptance criteria, and support prioritization based on value, risk, effort, and strategic alignment. Monitor delivered outcomes and service trends, identify root causes and improvement opportunities, and recommend actions that reduce manual work and recurring issues. Ensure solutions and supporting documentation are complete, supportable, auditable, and transitioned effectively to operational teams. Stakeholder Partnership and Facilitation Build trusted relationships with business process owners, site leaders, end users, and technology teams across a global organization. Facilitate workshops, interviews, process reviews, design sessions, and decision forums that drive shared understanding and actionable outcomes.
