  • Lead or contribute to the transition of data/functionality from the legacy system to the strategic future-state platform
  • Provide consultation and resolution guidance for cross-functional technology teams and business stakeholders
  • Adhere to firmwide compliance and operational standards; contribute to documentation and procedural updates
