I Plan, execute, monitor, and control any or all of the work associated with requirements elicitation and collaboration, requirements analysis and design.

I Engage the PMO, Product and stakeholders from multiple departments to build a shared understanding of the opportunity.

I organize, support and/or conduct JAD sessions, workshops, meetings, presentations specific to the objectives of each, problem to be solve, and needs of the users.

I translate high level requirements, to create and implement designs that meet the needs of the customer, ensuring they are technically sound, maintainable and cost effective. I also identify missing or ambiguous requirements, I understand complex requirements and translate into understandable solutions and accurately estimate based on requirements.

I respond promptly and effectively to problems, projects, tasks, demonstrating insight and making recommendations as opportunities arise.

I convey complex information in a timely and easily understood way to all levels of the organization
