- Develop and execute business test scenarios, including User Acceptance Testing, to assess whether proposed system solutions meet functional, control and reporting requirements.
- Support data migration by working with finance and project teams to review data requirements, identify data quality issues, validate migrated information and ensure appropriate reconciliation and controls.
- Support change management activities, including stakeholder engagement, user communications, training and the development of guidance materials, to facilitate smooth adoption of the new system.
- Maintain functional documentation including process maps, business requirements and functional specifications.
- Support post-implementation maintenance and continuous improvement by coordinating functional issues, assessing business impacts of system updates and identifying enhancements to address business and regulatory changes.
- Support project governance by monitoring functional workstream progress, risks, issues, deliverables and intended outcomes, and provide clear updates and recommendations to project stakeholders.
