• Testing & Quality Assurance: Support testing efforts by reviewing outcomes, troubleshooting issues, and conducting root cause analyses to address defects effectively.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities for process and system improvements to drive efficiency and maximize value for the business.

Skills and Experience Required:

• Demonstrated ability to organise and facilitate workshops to explore challenges, refine requirements, and design effective solutions.
• Experience working with third-party software and technology vendors.
• Strong expertise in systems integration, including designing and reviewing APIs using REST and/or SOAP protocols.
• Hands-on experience working with complex software applications or enterprise systems such as CRM or ERP platforms, with the ability to develop a deep understanding of system functionality.
