• Facilitate requirements workshops, interviews, and stakeholder discussions as needed.
• Support project scoping activities and assist in documenting business cases and project objectives.
• Participate in user acceptance testing (UAT) to validate solutions against requirements.
• Assist in maintaining requirements documentation and traceability throughout the project lifecycle.

What You Bring

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Experience working in both waterfall and agile project environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and develop solutions within defined boundaries.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to interact across departments and with external vendors and clients.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Self-starter with the autonomy to manage large projects or processes with limited oversight.
• Team player with strong customer service focus and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
• CAPM or equivalent and/or Scrum Master certification preferred (within 90 days of hire).
