I worked with business and commercial stakeholders to understand issues and translate into realisable projects to generate improved business efficiencies.Collating all requirements including user stories, I assessed and analysed information to determine commercial viability against costs. I acted as the bridge between non-technical and technical stakeholders to ensure business and IT objectives are aligned in achieving intended business outcomes. I made sure multiple stakeholder perspectives were accounted for including product owners, commercial teams, finance, change, risk, technical teams and external vendors.Example projectsCustomer data platform migration: Worked with multiple stakeholders to understand ramifications in migrating over 1000 items of customer data to new platformo Aim to speed up the customer journey and save costs in migrating to in-house platformo Project forecasted 12 months – against initial estimate of 3 months – of programming and prioritised key features enabling annual £multi-million savingsFacial recognition verification system: Created proof of concept and prototype to test at various instances and validated as part of a customer check-in experienceo New system currently being rolled out across Europe New split bill invoicing process: Idea had circulated for 10 years to enable splitting bills between corporate and leisure use in rentals but had stalled due to technical complexityo Worked with diverse stakeholders in compiling 50-page technical document to gain agreement on practical solutionWebsite SEO Optimisation: Worked from an external consultation paper with recommended changes to website to maintain Google rankings prior to algorithm change by Google.

In this role I worked across both internal operational and external enterprise applications to understand, analyse, design and resolve issues - often with over 100 tickets open at any one time. I managed and prioritised multiple critical business issues with customers sometimes under duress, always providing an attentive service and management of expectations effectively.I authored multiple documents including ‘how to’ docs to ensure easy recovery of all new technical solutions.

Operating between business stakeholders and development teams, I ensured the design and delivery of features, functions and developments in line with business requirements. I provided crucial expertise on two major projects: the design and development of a new corporate website and new call centre application managing over 1m enquiries a year.

After initially providing support to local IT systems, I was swiftly promoted to providing BA support to the European Headquarters and across all European countries.
