Coordinate across business, functional, and technical stakeholders to identify and communicate dependencies, risks, issues, and impacts associated with proposed changes.

-
Support functional and integration testing by developing test scenarios, validating expected results, documenting defects, and coordinating resolution with delivery teams.

-
Validate delivered functionality against documented business requirements and acceptance criteria before release.

-
Assist in analyzing production issues to determine whether they are related to system functionality, configuration, data, integration, or business process and coordinate with the appropriate teams for resolution.

-
Identify opportunities to standardize and simplify business processes, promote reuse of existing CX capabilities, and minimize unnecessary customization.

-
Maintain clear and current requirements, process documentation, decisions, and other artifacts necessary to support the ongoing operation and enhancement of assigned CX products.

Manage multiple assignments and priorities while maintaining quality and meeting agreed delivery timelines.
