• Ensure training content is accurate, usable, and aligned to future-state processes.
• Support execution of training readiness activities, including validation of training environments and materials.

End User Engagement & Readiness

• Partner with Deployment Group (DG) leaders to confirm accurate end-user role mapping.

• Support training deployment with end users, including:
• Readiness tracking and confirmation of execution capability
• Re-review of materials with end users as needed
• Support updates to end-user business process documentation
• Act as an on-site PTP lead for internal CM processes during go-live and hypercare, including:
• Hands-on user support and floor walking
• Logging and tracking defects and issues
• Escalating issues through defined program channels

Project Management & Execution

• Own and actively manage PTP deliverables, ensuring tasks are tracked, driven, and closed.
• Develop and maintain trackers, status reports, and dashboards aligned to program milestones.
• Identify risks early, support mitigation planning, and communicate clearly and consistently.
• Support change management and structured problem-solving for process and readiness challenges.

Program Coordination & Communication

• Facilitate cross-functional coordination across PTP, FTP, IT, DGs, and site teams.
• Provide logistical and administrative support for workshops, training sessions, and site visits.
• Build clear, professional presentations and communications for leadership, DGs, and end-user audiences.

Future Release & Continuous Improvement

• Support lessons learned activities and incorporate improvements into our PTP ways of working.
