• Identify functional, technical, operational, and compliance gaps and recommend feasible modernization solutions
• Collaborate with developers, architects, and database teams to ensure requirements are accurately translated into technical solutions
• Support project planning activities including milestone tracking, task management, issue identification, and risk escalation
• Facilitate stakeholder meetings, walkthroughs, requirements reviews, and sign-off sessions
• Provide ongoing support to development and QA teams by clarifying requirements and validating implemented functionality
• Communicate project status, risks, dependencies, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders
• Support overall modernization strategy and business process improvement initiatives
• Perform additional project-related duties as assigned
