Capture control, audit and SOX requirements and confirm they are tested and evidenced before go-live

Testing and cutover:

Plan and run SIT, UAT and period-end test cycles for ABOR, including month-end, quarter-end and year-end close scenarios across all accounting bases
Build the cutover runbook and hypercare plan; coordinate the conversion weekend(s) and the first close on the new platform

Governance and reporting:

Produce weekly status for the program office, maintain the RAID log and drive timely escalation and recovery plans

Prepare steering committee and program working-session materials for the ABOR body of work and present to senior Finance and program leadership
Manage the BlackRock relationship for ABOR deliverables, including SLA adherence and issue escalation

Proven track record of delivering a system implementation or platform conversion end to end: planning, vendor management, testing, cutover and hypercare
PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent certification
Strong command of planning and scheduling tools (MS Project / Project Server, Excel, Power BI or similar) and of structured WBS-based planning
Experience running formal governance: status reporting, RAID management, change control, steering committee preparation and executive communication
Experience working alongside a software vendor’s implementation team (BlackRock Aladdin, SimCorp, SS&C, FIS or similar) and holding them to deliverables and SLAs
Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional dependencies across Accounting, Finance, Operations, Technology and Data teams
