You translate complex identity concepts into clear business outcomes for senior stakeholders, build trusted client relationships, and are passionate about developing and mentoring the consultants and engineers on your team.

• Own the test strategy and lead system integration testing, user acceptance testing, and production go-live and cutover activities

• Lead, mentor, and develop onshore and offshore consultants and developers, removing blockers and driving accountability across the team

• Manage vendor relationships and escalations, partnering with product support to resolve complex product issues
