•
Assist with analysis on implementation of new requirements resulting from a non-standard product event, and define new processes where required.
•

•
Conduct testing of successful transition set-up and any new processes.
•
Perform workflow configuration and maintenance in internal workflow tools, e.g. changing users, tasks, SLAs and amending dependencies.
