This includes transformation initiatives that create profit impact, strengthen organizational structure, improve operating effectiveness, or respond to legal, regulatory, and governance requirements. The position acts as a central coordinator and facilitator between business functions and technology teams, helping to remove obstacles, propose practical solutions, and ensure critical projects are delivered against agreed objectives, timelines, and governance expectations. The role also works with business functions to coordinate the collection of business impact, financial projection, and business requirements for project prioritization purposes, and submits the consolidated business requirements to technology teams for IT impact assessment. The role also provides regular updates and escalation to senior management on the status, risks, issues, and progress of key projects.
