• Advise clients on platform capabilities, limitations, and best practices to inform scope, design, and roadmap decisions.
• Facilitate agreement among stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Identify functional risks and scope changes early and escalate them with clear options and recommendations.

Solution Design & Integration

• Partner with solution architects and technical leads on integrations between TRIRIGA, Maximo, and enterprise systems, including ERP, HRIS, financial systems, IoT platforms, and business intelligence tools.
• Own the functional approach to integrations and data migrations, including data ownership, mapping strategy, and validation approach.
• Confirm functional readiness for go-live and provide functional direction through cutover and hypercare.

Mentorship & Practice Development

• Mentor and coach business analysts, building their domain knowledge and client-engagement skills.
• Develop reusable domain frameworks, templates, and best practices for the BA practice.
