• Coordinate business testing and user acceptance testing as enhancements move through development and test environments.
• Lead implementation and change-management activities to support adoption of new functionality and system enhancements.
• Identify, analyze, and interpret business and product data to support prioritization, decision-making, performance measurement, and continuous improvement.

• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, processes, technology, and the use of data across the CRE business.
• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of assigned products and systems, including ongoing enhancement, technical dependencies, risk considerations, and modernization needs.
• Build strong cross-functional partnerships across CRE, technology, data and analytics, risk, and other supporting functions.
• Lead, develop, and support a team of three individual contributors (business analysts and product managers) while creating clear priorities and accountability for product-related work.
• Balance strategic product leadership with hands-on oversight of prioritization, delivery, testing, implementation, and ongoing system support.
