It governs the end-to-end business solution, manages dependencies, risks, tradeoffs, and executive escalations, and drives alignment from discovery through implementation and go-live. As deputy to the Engagement Lead, the position supports client governance and key program decisions, acts on the Engagement Lead’s behalf when delegated, and maintains leadership continuity across the engagement.

• Own integrated readiness across SIT, UAT, operational readiness, deployment preparation, and go-live.
• Translate delivery risks, architecture impacts, and readiness gaps into business implications, decision options, and executive recommendations.
