About the role
Dell Global Operations' Supply Chain Assurance organization safeguards the integrity, security, and resilience of Dell's end-to-end supply chain and procurement operations, partnering across Security, Procurement, Manufacturing Operations, Global Audit, Legal, IT, business teams, and suppliers. The organization uses risk-based, data-driven assurance and enterprise Third-Party Risk Management platform capabilities, including Aravo, to manage supplier risk and compliance. This Senior Advisor role translates strategic, regulatory, operational, and process needs into configuration-ready requirements for Aravo, leading the end-to-end requirements lifecycle, user stories, BDD scenarios, traceability, and design readiness with business, IT, and vendor stakeholders.
What you will do
- Lead and continuously improve the end-to-end Aravo requirements lifecycle, from demand intake and analysis through prioritization, approval, design readiness, testing, deployment, and closure. Serve as the central business requirements owner for Aravo enhancements, defects, production incidents, regulatory changes, and platform-maturity initiatives. Establish and govern a structured intake process that captures the business problem, desired outcome, accountable owner, affected users, criticality, regulatory driver, dependencies, timing, and impact of non-delivery.
- Lead stakeholder interviews, workshops, process reviews, and cross-functional working sessions to define business needs and align affected organizations.Translate strategic, regulatory, operational, process, data, integration, control, and reporting needs into clear user stories, functional requirements, business rules, BDD scenarios, and testable acceptance criteria.
- Analyze current- and future-state processes and distinguish process or governance gaps from configuration needs, integrations, reporting requests, defects, product limitations, and non-Aravo solutions. Evaluate and prioritize demand based on business value, regulatory obligations, control exposure, operational impact, urgency, cross-functional dependencies, delivery capacity, and alignment with the Aravo roadmap and TPRM operating model. Maintain the authoritative Aravo requirements register and prioritized backlog, ensuring accurate ownership, status, documentation, approvals, dependencies, decisions, milestones, and next actions.
- Identify and resolve duplicate, overlapping, conflicting, consolidated, suspended, withdrawn, infeasible, or non-Aravo requests and ensure each receives a clear, documented disposition. Establish requirements-quality standards and definitions of ready, ensuring requirements are complete, clear, consistent, feasible, traceable, testable, business-approved, and sufficiently detailed for IT assessment.
- Lead requirements walkthroughs and design-readiness sessions with business owners, Dell IT, architects, developers, configuration teams, testers, implementation partners, and Aravo resources. Manage the business requirements handoff to IT, support solution-design clarification, govern changes to approved scope, and maintain clear accountability between business requirements ownership and technical delivery.
- Maintain end-to-end traceability from the originating business need through requirements approval, solution design, development, test evidence, deployment, and final disposition. Support quarterly planning, IT sizing, scope lock, sprint readiness, user acceptance testing, deployment, and hypercare by proactively managing requirements, risks, decisions, dependencies, and delivery milestones. Lead requirements-governance forums and provide clear operational and executive reporting on portfolio status, readiness, priorities, blockers, dependencies, required actions, decisions, and delivery risks.

- Advanced experience eliciting, analyzing, documenting, validating, prioritizing, approving, and governing complex business and functional requirements.
- Strong experience developing user stories, functional requirements, business rules, process flows, behavior-driven scenarios, and acceptance criteria.

- Strong understanding of requirements quality, definition of ready, traceability, change control, scope management, dependency management, and lifecycle governance.

- Strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills, with the ability to establish ownership, resolve ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and drive timely stakeholder decisions.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to distinguish business needs from prescribed technical solutions, platform defects, process issues, governance gaps, and non-technology needs. Proven ability to influence without direct authority and drive accountability across a global, matrixed organization.
- High degree of ownership, judgment, attention to detail, adaptability, and independence in an ambiguous and rapidly evolving environment.
