During project implementation, you’ll define the scope and ensure a high-quality solution is delivered. A client-centric attitude and excellent interpersonal skills are essential to lead discussions with senior executives and manage a diverse team of consultants to deliver the final solution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and manage the functional architecture, with overarching accountability for the solution.
