• Build and maintain stakeholder and dependency maps to support assessment and decommissioning activities.

• Identify gaps, risks, conflicting information, and unresolved dependencies and present clear options with well-supported recommendations to program leadership.

• Maintain action, decision, risk, and issue tracking across multiple concurrent assessments.

• Provide concise, decision-ready updates and executive-level escalation materials.

• Contribute to program governance, RAID management, and decommissioning-readiness tracking.

• Experience facilitating meetings, workshops, discovery sessions, and structured stakeholder conversations across organizational levels.

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through, with the ability to manage multiple assessments and open actions concurrently.

• Ability to synthesize incomplete or conflicting information, identify gaps, and develop practical, well-supported recommendations.

• Ability to work independently, establish relationships quickly, and operate effectively in a fast-paced program environment.

• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint.

• Experience with SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, or SAP-connected applications and business processes is preferred.

• Experience with application decommissioning, data retention, data archival, historical access, infrastructure retirement, or system migration is preferred.
