• Improve and optimize: identify performance improvements and automation opportunities, evaluate user interface enhancements, and drive change that reduces manual effort.

• Document and enable: maintain technical documentation, training material, and job aids, and consult with the business on correct use and interpretation of PeopleSoft functionality.

• Collaborate and mentor: participate in global and regional enhancement and implementation projects, and share knowledge with and guide junior team members.
