• Manage application updates and ensure proper testing, documentation, and communications.
• Configure and test software based on De Havilland best practices and specifications.
• Create and maintain system documentation as required.
• Responsible for maintaining the integrity and availability of the business data while stored in information systems.
• Responsible for supporting the achievement of Service Level Expectations (SLE) for supported applications.
• Act as a technical stakeholder to business process owners and specialists, aiding them in their decision making and building their trust and confidence.
• Support business demand pipeline and provide solutions to the business that provide maximum value and at the same time aligned with Business and IT goals and strategy.
• Support translation of business needs into actionable technical projects, through writing and gathering business requirements, scoping required project plans, and executing and delivering project goals.
• Assist in implementation of new or enhanced functionality, including requirements gathering, analysis, and development of support processes.
• Act as second/third line support and carry out incident, change, and problem management.
