  • Create, maintain and organise comprehensive project documentation.
  • On conclusion of a project, conduct a detailed after-action review (AAR) to identify opportunities to improve project processes and outcomes, identifying areas for improvement and providing insights and learnings to the Delivery Director for the benefit of future projects.
  • Work in accordance with our approach to delivery and ways of working to ensure a reliably consistent, high-quality approach to the Project Delivery Life-Cycle (PDLC) and documentation.
  • Stay updated with the latest Shopify and e-commerce trends in order to improve service offerings
