• Engage stakeholders at all levels, facilitating workshops to drive alignment and validate requirements
• Conduct gap analysis between current and future states, supporting solution design with technical teams and project managers
• Support end-to-end project delivery, ensuring requirements are understood, prioritised and implemented effectively
• Identify and drive process improvements, enhancing controls, governance and consistency
• Produce high-quality documentation including process maps, BRDs, functional specifications and supporting materials

Values
Our four core values are the cornerstones of culture at Interpath and steer everything from everyday decisions to larger strategic initiatives. Our Interpath Values are;
Do the right thing - Our comfort zone is uncomfortable. We always make the right decision, not simply what is easy or popular.
All hands on deck - stand shoulder-to-shoulder with colleagues and clients, be that physically or from afar. Our individual expertise may find the answers, but implementation happens though teamwork.
Passion drives success  - The impossible is always possible. We push the boundaries of what is expected because we're never satisfied with the status quo. Our clients expect the right result when they engage with us, and it's only by delivering this that we win.
Embrace different - cultures to mindsets, we welcome all. We believe that people are equal, but not the same.
