- Support the documentation and alignment of detailed requirements, action items, and system changes identified in focus group sessions, ensuring alignment with overall project goals.
- Monitor project timelines, ensuring that cross-functional activities, testing phases, and rollout plans stay on track and within budget.
- Manage risks and issues across focus groups and testing activities, escalating critical issues to senior leadership when necessary and providing recommendations for resolution.
- Facilitate post-rollout reviews, capturing lessons learned, and ensuring continuous improvement in project execution and system utilization.
- Support the development of training programs for end users, working with business teams to ensure smooth adoption of the new system.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent business experience, with a preference for project management or IT-related disciplines.
- Minimum of 5+ years of project management experience, particularly in managing cross-functional teams and large-scale system rollouts.
- Proven ability to facilitate and manage cross-functional focus groups, working with SMEs, vendors, and internal stakeholders to drive project success.
- Experience in leading system testing efforts, including creating test plans, managing defect tracking, and ensuring system readiness for deployment.

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate technical requirements into actionable plans for diverse audiences.
- Familiarity with project management tools and structured methodologies (e.g., ADO, Microsoft Project/Excel, Jira, Zephyr) and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.
- Hands-on, pragmatic approach to problem-solving with a strong focus on collaboration and driving results through teamwork.
