• Create and maintain work items in Azure DevOps or similar tools.
• Ensure requirements are complete, consistent, testable, and aligned with project priorities.
• Collaborate with Product Owners, developers, testers, and business stakeholders to refine and validate requirements.

• Develop test plans, test scripts, and detailed testing instructions.
• Perform functional testing of user stories in Development and Test environments.
• Validate that solutions meet documented business and functional requirements.

• Coordinate, support, and/or lead UAT sessions with business stakeholders.
• Assist with preparing users and stakeholders for new functionality and system changes.

• Act as a liaison between business users and technical teams.
• Facilitate meetings, requirements sessions, process reviews, and testing activities.
• Communicate project status, risks, issues, and dependencies clearly and proactively.
• Build strong working relationships with stakeholders across multiple business and technical areas.
• Contribute to change management efforts, including training materials, process documentation, and user guidance.
