Overseeing a number of key projects I held responsibility for making strategic decisions and coordinating key projects, also highlighting future strategic objectives and policies for discussions, decisions and ratification. My duties included playing a pivotal role in the managing of IT projects from inception to completion and ensuring the continual availability of systems, services and data. I was heavily involved in recruiting and building project teams, directing tasks to a multi-disciplined team of workers and third party providers and, where necessary, providing technical guidance and training to non-technical workers. Liaising and negotiating with senior management and customers to set expectations and to ensure service provision meets business needs and complies with corporate policy and procedure, was a daily part of my role. The people management responsibilities that I had included directing a team of 15 developers in Hong Kong who were responsible for all changes and releases to front office, middle office and back office systems in Asia. One of my major tasks was streamlining and consolidating systems, troubleshooting problems, implementing approved actions and workarounds required to mitigate project risk events. I held instrumental accountability for continuously reviewing deliverables to assure quality and approve any changes required.
