Integration of Business Support:
* Partner with business stakeholders to identify system integrations needed to achieve specific business objectives and operational outcomes

* Experience documenting system integration requirements and translating business outcomes into integration architecture
* Experience documenting system integrations and defining integration requirements
* Experience supporting testing activities and quality assurance
* Deep understanding of investment products (e.g., equities, bonds, mutual funds), account types (e.g., advisory, custody, IRA, trust), and back-office functions (e.g., trade settlement, asset servicing)
* Familiarity with operational processes across multiple functional areas (e.g., operations, finance, risk, compliance)
* Strong expertise in process modeling tools (Visio, BPMN)
* Proficiency in requirements management tools
* Data analysis capabilities and ability to map data flows and integration points across systems
* Strong communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management abilities
* Demonstrated adaptability and ability to wear multiple hats and shift priorities to meet business needs
* Strong analytical mindset with ability to connect tactical configuration and integration decisions to strategic business outcomes
* Comfort engaging with risk and control perspectives to identify operational vulnerabilities and design appropriate mitigations
