• Transformation delivery: drive process re-engineering and operating model improvements (digitization, exception reduction, straight-through processing) with measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs ) cycle time, Straight-Through Processing (STP) , exception rates, Service Level Agreement (SLA) adherence, defect leakage).
• Agentic AI & intelligent automation enablement: identify high-value ABL workflows suitable for agentic AI/automation (e.g., case triage, document intake/extraction, exception routing, monitoring alerts, knowledge retrieval, operational assist), define guardrails and human-in-the-loop controls, and partner with Technology/Data to deliver safe, auditable capabilities.
• Product partnership: collaborate with Product Managers to refine epics/features and ensure user stories are actionable and testable; manage sequencing, scope trade-offs, and dependency alignment to target-state architecture.
• Cross-functional governance: drive stakeholder forums (steering, working groups), manage Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies (RAID), and communicate status, risks, decisions, and trade-offs to senior stakeholders.
