- Support supplier evaluation, options appraisal and gap analysis, ensuring recommendations are supported by evidence.
- Assess data quality and support cleansing activity, particularly relating to supplier and purchase-order data.
- Maintain end-to-end traceability from the initial business need through solution design, testing and delivery.
- Develop test scenarios, scripts and UAT materials, supporting defect analysis and resolution.
- Work with operational stakeholders to support business readiness, training, implementation and handover.
