• Partner with business users, Group IT, data teams, internal control functions, and external vendors to develop practical business solutions that are aligned with approved objectives and operational needs.

• Prepare test strategies, test scenarios, test cases, and test data; coordinate business-user participation; perform or support testing; manage defect clarification and retesting; and facilitate user acceptance and sign-off readiness.

• Plan and coordinate project and enhancement activities, including timelines, dependencies, stakeholder engagement, implementation readiness, deployment, post-implementation verification, and transition into BAU support.

• Track system enhancements, remediation and risk-related activities, including RSA items where applicable, ensuring actions, owners, target dates, dependencies, and progress are clearly monitored and followed through to closure.

• Maintain clear delivery tracking and provide timely status updates on progress, risks, issues, decisions, and required actions to relevant stakeholders and management.

• Support production issues and operational improvements across assigned portfolios by coordinating investigation and resolution with business teams, Group IT, and vendors, and following through on preventive or corrective actions.
