  • Support mapping of data sources, system dependencies, and integrations needed to create a common operating picture.
  • Assist in identifying gaps, risks, and opportunities for process improvement and operational efficiency.
  • Contribute to testing and user acceptance activities; design, develop, and deliver training programs and enablement materials to support both the onboarding of new users and the ongoing skill development of existing users on live ERC technologies.
  • Help track action items, decisions, dependencies, and issues across workstreams.
  • Support development of metrics, reporting, and performance tracking for ERC processes and capabilities.
  • Partner with the Product Manager, project leads, and technical teams to ensure requirements are implemented effectively.
