• Collaborate with HR functional teams such as Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, Absence, Time Tracking, Recruiting, Security, Reporting, and Integrations to understand end-to-end process dependencies.
• Use prior HR ERP knowledge to identify upstream and downstream impacts and support issue triage across functional areas.
• Participate in incident reviews, backlog discussions, enhancement planning, knowledge-transfer sessions, and operational governance meetings.
• Follow ITIL, Agile, change-management, documentation, and quality standards applicable to AMS/Operate or implementation engagements.
• Communicate progress, issues, risks, testing outcomes, and learning needs clearly with team members and business stakeholders.
