• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues promptly and document resolutions for post-divestiture continuity.
• Facilitate change management activities to support new processes, access structures, and user onboarding for the new entity.

Key Technical Expertise (Skills Required)

• Deep knowledge of the tool administration, not just as end user, including ability to manage metadata, configurations and integrations for the "In-Scope Tools".
• Understanding of the In-scope Tools ecosystem including interconnected tools and processes.
• Data Cleansing / Migration: Writing scripts or SQL/Database queries for data cleansing.
• Demonstrated experience in R&D application/data separation, carve-outs, or spinoff transitions.
• Deep understanding of product data management, compliance workflows, and systems integration.
