Solution Design: Collaborate with the Product Owner, software developers, UI/UX designers, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into comprehensive solution designs, including user stories, wireframes, and functional & non functional specifications.
Serve as a liaison between business stakeholders and technical teams where required, facilitating communication, managing expectations, and ensuring alignment throughout the software development lifecycle.
Testing and Validation: Develop test cases, conduct user acceptance testing (UAT), and validate software solutions to ensure they meet the needs and expectations of end-users.
Training and Support: Provide training and support to end-users and Compass team members, to ensure successful adoption of Compass solutions as well as supporting our onboarding teams to ensure the best possible customer experience.
