You will work closely with business stakeholders, architects, security, technical teams, and vendors
What You'll Do

Make sure requirements are complete, approved and carried through design, build, testing and implementation. * Solution design: Partner with business stakeholders, architects, security, technical teams, vendors and SMEs on solution design and delivery. * Planning & governance: Manage project plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, actions and deliverables. Prepare weekly status reports and facilitate Steering Committee meetings. * Agile delivery: Manage Jira epics, stories, backlogs and sprints. Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement and delivery tracking. * Vendor management: Lead RFI/RFP processes, vendor evaluation and selection, and ongoing vendor management. * Testing: Lead system, integration and user acceptance testing (UAT), including test planning, defect management and resolution. * Business readiness: Partner with business and change management teams on communications, training and adoption. * Go-live: Coordinate cutover, go-live, transition to support and lessons learned.
