• Coordinate application deployments, release schedules, change management activities, and post-deployment validations
• Partner closely with IT, Security, Infrastructure, Help Desk, and business stakeholders to support operational initiatives and continuous improvement efforts
• Manage vendor relationships, track SLA performance, and drive accountability for issue resolution and service delivery
• Ensure compliance with organizational security standards, HIPAA requirements, and audit readiness related to application access and operational controls
