- Performing impact and feasibility analyses to determine whether proposed changes are viable from business, process, and system perspectives;
- Working closely with Product Owners, developers, architects, API teams, and other analysts to prepare changes for delivery;
- Supporting initiatives related to NDC and airline retailing, including areas such as pricing, ancillaries, payment, order-related processes, and channel capabilities;
- Writing clear documentation, process descriptions, functional analyses, and acceptance criteria that enable efficient implementation;
