4. Work with development teams to ensure features are delivered on time and meet business stakeholder expectations.
5. Own and coordinate system testing and UAT cycles — including test planning, test case preparation, defect tracking, and sign-off with business users.
6. Conduct process analysis and monitor key performance indicators to identify areas for improvement and operational efficiency gains
7. Partner with Compliance and Risk teams to meet regulatory requirements (e.g., SFC, CSRC, cross-border data regulations).
