• Business Readiness:
  • Manage business readiness activities for some of the programme workstreams, with a specific focus on the ability for the business to accept the migration safely.
  • Work with other project and business stakeholders to ensure that communications (external and internal) are appropriately planned and delivered in a timely manner.
• Post Go-Live Support:
  • Monitor and facilitate post go-live support for some of the programme workstreams to enable issues to be resolved promptly.
