    • The migration of >270K customers between the old and new secure managed file transfer systems.

  • Introducing a new Salesforce Service Cloud based ticketing solution to manage support workflows within Tungsten and for external customers in a programme of releases.

  • The re-architecture of AWS and development infrastructure to create an automated application deployment pipeline for a high-profile customer facing solutions (CloudFormation, Octopus Deploy).

  • Assisting in establishing a programme management governance model across a number of dependent projects running within the business.

  • Helping to facilitate the move towards a DevOps delivery culture within the business.

  • Undertaking key elements of business requirements capturing, elaboration, documentation and approval to ensure project scope is appropriately defined and understood by all Stakeholders.

  • Building appropriate backlogs of Epics, User Stories and Tasks in Jira to drive work across multiple delivery teams.
