2. Program & Project Leadership

- Define transition methodology (phases, deliverables, gates) and sign-offs; build RACI, governance cadence, and reporting architecture.
- Plan knowledge transfer (KT) strategy—curriculum, trainers/trainees, assessments, shadow/reverse shadow.
- Establish readiness plans: IT & access, controls/compliance (e.g., SOX for Finance), data migration, BCP, and service readiness.
- Own integrated program plan (milestones, dependencies, resources); run PMO governance—RAID, change control, decisions log, actions tracker.
- Prepare and present executive-ready Steer Co updates: status, insights, risks/mitigations, financials, benefits.
- Ensure interlock across Operations, IT, HR/Talent, Compliance, Finance, and Business stakeholders.

- Ensure adherence to organizational policies, cybersecurity standards, and regulatory requirements throughout the transition process.

5. Knowledge Management

- Develop and implement knowledge transfer plans to ensure continuity of operations post-transition.
- Maintain documentation repositories, transition playbooks, and training materials for scalability and future use.

6. Change Management & Adoption

- Drive change management initiatives to support adoption of new processes, tools, and governance models.
- Execute change initiatives, fostering acceptance and minimizing resistance from impacted teams.

7. Transition Execution

- Lead day-to-day transition delivery across multiple work streams/towers:
Finance (P2P/O2C/R2R/FP&A), Supply Chain (Plan/Source/Make/Deliver), and other processes (e.g., HR services, Customer Ops).
- Manage cutover planning and runbook, stabilization/hypercare, and formal handover to operations with sign-offs.

8. Risk Management

- Identify and manage operational, regulatory, and transition risks; maintain risk registers and mitigation plans.
- Drive quality gates (tollgates) with evidence packs; ensure audit readiness and documentation hygiene/version control.

9. Benefit Realization

- Baseline current state; define targets (cost, productivity, quality, SLA adherence).
- Track and validate benefits realization; implement continuous improvement (Lean/Six Sigma) post-transition.

10. Tools & Data

- Maintain automated dashboards and governance packs using Excel/Power BI; leverage Teams/SharePoint, MS Project/Jira/Smartsheet where applicable.
- Ensure data integrity, traceability, and transparency in reporting.
