The main objective of the Business Relationship Manager role is to ensure alignment between IT and Business and to be the conduit between the two. This is a challenging and sometimes political space to be in as you have to keep both sides happy and content at all times. It is therefore important for the BRM to be aware and up to date of all things pertaining to business and IT in order to influence and manage expectations and customer satisfaction. A very challenging but rewarding role. The main objective of the Business Relationship Manager role is to ensure alignment between IT and Business and to be the conduit between the two.
