Manage the full change process lifecycle, including performing business analyses, identifying, advising and coordinating on business process improvement and change activities, ensuring cross‐functional integration and compatibility, and maximising the evolution enabled by periodic releases of new functions by cloud providers.
Liaise with the ICT Enterprise Architect to ensure CSU's solutions for F2M domains remain compatible with and advance ICT's overall architectural and technology goals.
Prepare technical and user documentation for F2M domain applications, detailed technical presentations, and various technical reports.
