• Experience contributing to Data modernisation projects, enterprise systems transformation projects and other large-scale, multi-year business and technology programs.

• Demonstrated ability to influence, negotiate and build effective relationships with senior leaders, business and process owners, technical specialists, delivery teams, procurement stakeholders, vendors and external implementation partners.
• Proven ability to work effectively where scope, priorities, operating models, solution options or delivery sequencing are evolving, and to synthesise incomplete or competing information into defensible options, recommendations and decision-support material.
• Highly developed communication skills, including the ability to synthesise complex information, prepare decision-support artefacts, and present recommendations to business and technical audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor or support team members and contribute to the continuous improvement of business analysis practices, standards and delivery approaches.

• Establish a comprehensive view of the current-state ERP ecosystem, including business capabilities, processes, systems, integrations, data, pain points, constraints and opportunities.
• Shape the future-state ERP vision and ensure that ERP transformation is driven by business outcomes and strategic capability requirements, rather than technology replacement alone.
• Lead the elicitation, analysis, documentation and validation of business, functional and non-functional requirements across complex IT, software, service improvement and lifecycle initiatives.
• Assess current and proposed processes, systems and services to identify risks, issues, benefits, dependencies, constraints and business impacts.
