• Engage with clients and stakeholders to understand their needs, capture requirements, and ensure a shared understanding of project objectives.
• Perform quality assurance reviews of project documentation or consultancy deliverables, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and alignment with best practices and client requirements.
• Help to support and maintain new and legacy software systems, ensuring timely and effective resolutions while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders.
