Key Responsibilities

Solution Discovery & Problem Framing

• Lead structured intake, discovery, and current-state assessment for assigned solution opportunities, ensuring requests are tested against strategic, operational, user, and value thresholds.
• Develop and facilitate stakeholder interviews, journey mapping, current-state mapping, data analysis, and validation loops to establish an evidence-backed understanding of the problem to be solved.
• Synthesize stakeholder input, operational insights, root causes, user needs, constraints, and opportunity areas into clear findings that can be understood by business, technology, and senior leadership audiences.

Solution Framing & Recommendation Development

• Translate findings into credible solution scenarios across organization, process, data, technology, controls, and operating model dimensions.
• Assess alternatives using impact, effort, risk, dependency, client/user experience, technology feasibility, and value realization considerations.

• Partner with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Technology, architecture, data, risk, and operations partners to translate solution intent into actionable product increments, requirements/story inputs, acceptance considerations, and deployment plans.
• Ensure proposed application solutions are reusable, scalable, complementary to enterprise technology capabilities, and governed appropriately from a technical, operational, and control perspective.

Stakeholder Alignment & Design Facilitation

• Facilitate design thinking sessions, working groups, and decision forums that help stakeholders align on user needs, problem statements, solution trade-offs, MVP scope, dependencies, and risks.
• Influence without direct authority across multiple functions, balancing stakeholder priorities while maintaining an enterprise-first lens.
• Communicate complex solution concepts clearly across audiences ranging from operational SMEs to technology partners and senior leaders.

Execution Enablement & Delivery Readiness

• Partner with delivery teams to ensure approved recommendations are sufficiently scoped, validated, and mobilized for execution.
• Participate alongside the project and development teams in execution rituals, including sprint planning, backlog refinements, sprint demos and deployments.
• Support post deployment learning loops, benefit tracking, user feedback synthesis, and continuous improvement of solution design practices and product delivery.

• Demonstrated ability to lead discovery and solution framing efforts, including stakeholder interviews, journey mapping, current-state analysis, problem definition, root cause assessment, and synthesis of findings into evidence-based recommendations.
• Experience operating in ambiguous environments and translating loosely defined opportunities into structured solution concepts, MVPs, and executable delivery plans.
• Strong understanding of Asset Servicing and Financial Services processes, operating models, and business workflows.
• Proven ability to evaluate business, operational, data, technology, and control considerations and develop practical solution options, roadmaps, business cases, and executive recommendations.
• Experience shaping application product concepts, prototypes, user workflows, MVP scope, backlog inputs, requirements, and adoption readiness activities.
• Demonstrated success leading and influencing cross-functional teams across business, operations, technology, architecture, data, risk, compliance, and product functions in a matrixed environment.
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder management capabilities, including experience leading workshops, design thinking sessions, working groups, and decision forums with senior stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and strategic storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear narratives, decision materials, trade-off analyses, and actionable next steps.
• Strong strategic thinking, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities, with the ability to balance innovation, user needs, risk considerations, and enterprise objectives.
