What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role delivering end-to-end system implementations and process improvements, with opportunities for stakeholder leadership, measurable impact, and career growth.

I am a Business Analyst with over two years' experience delivering internal and external system implementations, like-for-like platform replacements, and CRM enhancements across multiple business units and time zones.

I own requirements definition, business process design, testing and UAT, and stakeholder alignment, translating business needs into clear functional and technical specifications and driving adoption through training and post-launch health checks.

I have led vendor evaluations that contributed to up to 20% cost savings, coordinated cross-functional testing and pilot rollouts, and delivered measurable benefits including increased sales performance and improved operational margins.
