- Provide expert advice and guidance on Unit4 ERP functionality and process improvements, influencing decisions that support the University's Journey to X objectives.
- Support Finance and HR Systems change management and user engagement activities, helping teams embrace new ways of working and realise the benefits of system improvements.
- Stay informed of Unit4 product developments and roadmap opportunities, helping the University leverage new capabilities and maintain alignment with the vendor's cloud strategy.
