  • Act as a liaison between business stakeholders and IT to ensure seamless delivery.
  • Collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to ensure solution scalability and integration.
  • Project & Change Management

  • Manage multiple concurrent business enablement initiatives from concept to deployment.

  • Lead user acceptance testing (UAT), define success criteria, and ensure post-launch support.
  • Strategic Analysis & Continuous Improvement

  • Perform business case development, cost-benefit analysis, and impact assessments for proposed solutions.
  • Analyze large datasets to identify trends, issues, and opportunities for operational improvement.
  • Contribute to the roadmap for business systems architecture and digital transformation.
  • Qualifications

    Your Experience

  • 8–10 years of experience in business systems analysis, operations, or project management.
  • Proven track record working with Supply Chain, Trade, Logistics, and Fulfillment functions.
  • Deep experience with SAP,  SteelBrick CPQ, and integration to cloud provisioning.

  • Experience designing or working with AI / ML-enabled solutions or automation platforms (RPA, process mining, etc.) is highly preferred.
  • Skilled in building business process diagrams, user stories, functional documentation, and test plans.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical or business discipline required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with ability to present to senior leadership and work across all organizational levels.
