• Develop role-specific training content for Project Managers, Administrators, Resource Managers, Finance Teams, and Leadership.
• Create quick-start guides, process documentation, SOPs, best-practice playbooks, FAQs, job aids, templates, and adoption toolkits.
• Develop short video tutorials, product walkthroughs, and role-based learning paths.
• Ensure training materials are practical, engaging, and easy for users to consume.

Business Process Analysis

• Document current-state and future-state project management processes.
• Identify process inefficiencies, duplicate activities, and opportunities for automation.
• Facilitate workshops to gather requirements and validate solutions.
• Partner with technical teams to translate business requirements into platform enhancements.

• 5+ years of experience in Business Analysis, PMO, Project Management, PPM Consulting, or Change Enablement.
