• Identify integration points, shared dependencies, and potential conflicts across concurrent initiatives spanning multiple systems and departments.
• Provide informed input on the scoping and sequencing of IT projects to help ensure individual deliverables build toward a cohesive, integrated ecosystem rather than isolated point solutions.
• Participate in proof-of-concept evaluations to assess whether proposed approaches are consistent with the broader architecture and long-term platform goals. Automation
• Identify opportunities to streamline manual handoffs and processes at the intersection of business and IT workflows.
• Support the adoption of automation approaches that are consistent with platform standards and reusable across the federated department landscape.
• Assist in transitioning manual reporting and data processes to governed, automated solutions that align with the data platform vision. Project Leadership
• Independently lead complex, cross-functional projects from initiation through delivery, managing scope, timelines, stakeholder expectations, and dependencies across IT and business teams.
• Manage multiple concurrent initiatives, maintaining clarity on priorities and ensuring each project progresses without losing sight of its role in the broader platform ecosystem.
• Provide consistent and transparent project status, risk, and escalation communication to team leadership and relevant stakeholders.
• Coordinate across federated teams and departments to align workstreams, resolve blockers, and keep parallel efforts from producing conflicting or redundant outcomes. Documentation
• Maintain documentation of cross-system data flows, integration dependencies, and business-IT decisions to support institutional knowledge and continuity.
• Document project activity, issue resolution, and key decisions to ensure transparency and traceability across initiatives.
• Ensure change management procedures are followed and that IT-facing changes are communicated clearly to impacted business stakeholders.
