Work with subject‑matter experts in product teams, front office and operations on requirements (e.g., a new electronic workflow to simplify layers of checking, or to auto‑populate repeated fields in client forms).

• Work with technology project teams to develop test plans. Co‑ordinate business users to test new platforms or technology features that are developed. Ensure final delivery meets user needs.
• Work with stakeholders in the front, middle and back offices to ensure successful “go live” of projects, from the business perspective. Develop training material, co‑ordinate briefings, design and execute communication plans. Gather feedback post‑implementation, and track benefits captured.
• Participate in project review meetings and identify/highlight any potential issue that may impact project’s cost, timeline and/or scope and work with concerned stakeholders for its early resolution to bring back the project on track.
• Conduct periodic briefings to senior management on progress of technology projects, from the business perspective. Highlight issues that require resolution.
