Testing & Release Readiness:
  • Coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities and validate delivered solutions against business requirements.
  • Develop testing plans, success criteria, and deployment readiness assessments.
  • Partner with stakeholders to identify and resolve defects, gaps, and process impacts prior to launch.
  • Support change management, communications, and adoption activities.


Continuous Improvement:
  • Monitor initiative outcomes and identify opportunities for optimization and automation.
  • Evaluate business processes and recommend improvements that increase efficiency, scalability, and user experience.
  • Leverage data and stakeholder feedback to drive continuous enhancement of systems and operational processes.


Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Product Management, Information Systems, Operations, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in Product Management, Product Operations, Program Management, Business Analysis, Business Systems, or related disciplines.
  • Demonstrated experience translating business requirements into technology solutions.
  • Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives involving multiple stakeholder groups.
