• Support Agile delivery by refining requirements, clarifying business logic, and ensuring development teams have the information needed for execution.
• Use SQL and data analysis techniques to investigate application behavior, validate requirements, and support decision-making.
• Lead workflow design discussions and contribute to user experience improvements where applicable.
• Review effort estimates, timelines, risks, and dependencies with project teams and stakeholders.
• Identify process gaps, control opportunities, and areas where automation can improve efficiency and reduce risk.
• Mentor junior team members by providing guidance on requirements analysis, documentation standards, and project delivery best practices.
• Create and maintain system documentation in alignment with company standards, governance practices, and risk/control expectations.

• Experience working with relational databases such as Oracle or Db2.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, formulas, and data manipulation.
• Ability to work with multiple stakeholders to analyze business needs, document requirements, and drive alignment across teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex concepts for both business and technical audiences.
