Identify potential risks (e.g. regulatory risk) associated with the migration and develop mitigation strategies.
Oversee system integration, data migration, and interface development to ensure a smooth transition.
Maintain comprehensive documentation including technical specifications, user guides, and change logs.

What You'll Need:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred.
7+ years of technical product management experience, with a focus on banking technology and core systems.
Proven experience managing large-scale system migrations or transformations in a banking environment.
Strong technical background with experience in core banking systems, data migration, system integration, and software development.
Familiarity with regulatory requirements and compliance standards in the banking industry.
A proactive, results-oriented approach to your work.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Demonstrated ability to grasp complex user scenarios, technical concepts, and business drivers to make well-informed decisions.
Keen attention to detail and proficiency in distilling complex issues.
