  • Partner with vendors to manage system issues, enhancements and roadmap planning.
  • Collaborate with IT, Security and Data teams to ensure platforms are secure, compliant and scalable.

Projects & Transformation

  • Actively contribute to the People Technology transformation programs as a hands-on delivery team member.
