Collaborate with stakeholders to design user outreach strategies and create collaterals that effectively articulate key messages in terms of business impact, adapting the deliverables to suit different audiences.

Make independent decisions within the established parameters set by sponsors and the project manager, ensuring adherence to change processes throughout the project life cycle.

Provide training to clients and staff, ensuring their familiarity with new technologies and systems.

Work closely with the technical implementation team to ensure clear understanding of business and user requirements during the software development lifecycle, including requirements review, turnover, and signoff of deliverables.

Apply Harvard University's IT technical standards and best practices while maintaining compliance with the Harvard University IT Code of Conduct.
