• Develops and delivers CSV training for project teams (system owners, business SMEs, testers) as required by projects or process changes.
• Contribute to the creation and revision of CSV policies, SOPs, templates, tools, metrics, and process-improvement initiatives, and supports implementation of approved changes.
