• You are responsible for the smooth running of existing applications, you help resolve incidents successfully and you notice improvements that can be adopted
• In doing so, you deliver the necessary functional documentation for the team and the business. If necessary, you will go beyond your role by diving into more technical aspects or providing more support to the business analyst within assignments.
