• Documentation & Process: Produce Statements of Work, requirements docs, user stories, and acceptance criteria. Document implementation plans, tracking specs, and change requests. Maintain structured records of decisions, risks, dependencies, and test outcomes. Contribute to process improvement.
• Commercial Support: Support sales/pitch processes. Provide effort estimates and pricing inputs for proposals and SOWs. Track scope changes and drive change‑control conversations when needed. Support revenue planning and utilisation insights with the Delivery Manager.
