• Partner with enterprise stakeholders (Risk, InfoSec, Compliance, Privacy) to ensure delivery includes operational readiness, control alignment, and launch/transition planning.
• Support delivery resource stewardship by contributing to estimation, capacity planning, vendor coordination, and delivery cost awareness within established guardrails.
• Contribute to a collaborative, learning-oriented delivery culture aligned with ways of working and IGM values.
• Participate in relevant chapter activities by sharing standards, tools, templates, and lessons learned to support consistent delivery practices.

Qualifications
