- Work closely with technical teams for enhancements, debugging, and resolving system issues, including root cause analysis during hypercare and support phases
- Lead or mentor junior consultants, ensuring knowledge transfer, best practices, and high-quality project delivery
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives and recommend best practices for supply chain planning and scheduling processes
