• Support and maintain retail IT equipment lifecycle activities (setup, configuration, replacements and basic inventory coordination) to keep stores operational and compliant with standards.
• Partner with retail users to document business process and system change requirements, translating operational needs into clear technical inputs for delivery through the change request process.
• Provide user guidance and informal training on systems, applications and best practices, enabling colleagues to use tools effectively and reducing avoidable support requests.
