• Assist in documenting business process mapping activities, utilising Signavio output to understand process flows and executing localised user-adoption workflows via tools like WalkMe.
• Participate in and contribute content towards internal knowledge-sharing sessions, practice capability tracking, and system test scenarios.
• Assist in setting up localised system walk-throughs and preparing user stories for prospective client evaluation sessions.
