  • Manage system testing phases (SIT, UAT) and readiness activities.
  • Develop and own the go-live, cutover, and Go / No-Go decision frameworks.
  • Ensure operational readiness, training, adoption, and early-life support (hypercare).
  • Proactively manage technology, data, operational, and adoption risks.

Other Large-Scale Initiatives

  • Lead the delivery of additional complex initiatives post-TMS, which may include DTC, API-led integrations, automation, or AI-enabled solutions.
  • Apply consistent delivery governance, planning, and controls across multiple initiatives.
  • Work closely with IT and architecture teams to manage technical dependencies and integration risks.
  • Translate technical solutions into operational outcomes, ensuring change is embedded within business teams.
  • Manage multiple 3rd party's partners and delivery streams where required.
  • Maintain delivery confidence through clear reporting, decision-making, and stakeholder engagement.
