Identify, recommend, and implement opportunities for process automation, efficiency improvements, and innovation. Direct and coordinate project activities throughout the delivery lifecycle, managing project schedules, budgets, and resource allocation. Ensure the successful delivery of projects by monitoring progress, proactively addressing risks and issues, and maintaining strong communication with stakeholders and senior management. Liaise with cross-functional teams, including technical teams and external suppliers, to guarantee alignment and timely execution. Oversee the development and execution of test plans and user acceptance testing (UAT) to validate solutions meet business requirements.
