• Strong customer-facing experience in enterprise environments

• Experience supporting system migrations or large-scale platform transitions (preferred)

• Strong understanding of MFT technologies including:

• Routing, scheduling, monitoring, retries, and error handling

• Ability to analyze legacy systems and design future-state solutions

• Experience with integration workflows across upstream and downstream systems

• Analytical problem-solving skills with a focus on accuracy and detail

• SQL or scripting knowledge for validation and troubleshooting (preferred)

AI & Digital Skills Expectations

• Consistent use of AI tools to improve productivity in:

• Documentation

• Data analysis

• Decision-making workflows

• Commitment to continuous learning and adoption of emerging AI capabilities
