Business Process Leadership & Continuous Improvement:

• Collaborate with business leaders and subject matter experts to understand business objectives, operational challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
• Lead current-state business process discovery, analysis, and documentation, including workflows, business rules, roles, responsibilities, and system interactions, using appropriate methodologies and tools. 
• Facilitate future-state process design that addresses business objectives, incorporates stakeholder input, and considers cross-functional impacts and dependencies.
• Proactively identify and document process inefficiencies, deficiencies, risks, and improvement opportunities; evaluate potential business impacts and benefits and communicate findings and recommendations to appropriate stakeholders.
• Translate business process findings and future-state designs into documented business requirements.  Recommend practical, sustainable improvements and collaborate with business stakeholders to establish measurable outcomes and evaluate results.

Strategic Initiative Development & Evaluation:

•  
• Collaborate with appropriate business leaders to evaluate improvement opportunities identified through SDI analysis and recommend consideration as strategic initiatives when warranted.
• Support the preparation and presentation of Strategic Initiative Briefs and related materials for leadership review, approval, and prioritization.

Project Initiation & Delivery Coordination:

•  
• Manage assigned initiatives and projects throughout their lifecycle, from discovery and planning through implementation, business acceptance, and project closure.
