Investigate production issues, operational challenges and user feedback to identify root causes and drive resolution.
Work closely with users to understand business processes, system usage and operational challenges, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, usability and business outcomes.
Analyse business processes and workflows to identify opportunities for simplification, automation and operational improvement.
Work closely with Product Owners, architects and engineering teams throughout the delivery lifecycle.
Ensure requirements are clearly understood and solutions remain aligned to business objectives.
Support testing, business readiness and release activities where required.
Perform functional validation and regression testing for releases where appropriate, particularly in areas where automated test coverage is still evolving.
Identify and manage risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies.
Contribute to the successful delivery of both transformational initiatives and incremental business improvements.
Support the ongoing evolution of Credit platforms, workflows and operating models.
Analyse current-state processes and help define future-state solutions.
Identify opportunities for simplification, automation and improved user experience.
Help ensure technology solutions address genuine business needs and deliver measurable value to users.
Contribute to the delivery of Credit Technology's transformation roadmap.
Build strong relationships across business and technology teams, acting as a trusted partner and helping bridge the gap between user needs and technical solutions.
Share knowledge and insights gained through analysis, helping improve understanding of Credit business processes, workflows and priorities.
Contribute to a collaborative environment where business and technology teams work together to solve problems and deliver meaningful outcomes.
