Who we are looking for?We are seeking a technically strong operations professional to translate the future-state service into clear requirements, partner with FRS through development, lead rigorous testing, and support the solution in production. This is not a testing coordinator role. The successful candidate will understand the end-to-end workflow, challenge the design, create and execute tests, use automation and AI where practical, diagnose failures, and remain accountable for technology-enabled service delivery after launch.
What You Will Own
Requirements and FRS Partnership- Translate the agreed operating model, controls, data needs, exception paths, and service outcomes into complete and testable business requirements.
- Partner closely with FRS to clarify requirements, review and approve user stories, resolve design questions, and ensure delivered functionality supports the full operational model.
- Maintain traceability across requirements, user stories, process flows, controls, test cases, defects, and readiness evidence.
- Challenge designs that create unnecessary manual work, weak controls, limited observability, or poor supportability.
Hands-On Testing and Quality- Create a risk-based test strategy and detailed test cases covering normal processing, exceptions, negative scenarios, controls, interfaces, data quality, volumes, recovery, and contingency paths.
- Execute UAT directly and coordinate regression, integration, end-to-end, and client testing with upstream and downstream teams.
- Use scripts, reusable datasets, AI, and automated testing wherever practical to improve coverage, repeatability, evidence, and speed.
- Document defects clearly, perform initial diagnosis, prioritize by service and control impact, retest fixes, and drive issues to verified closure.
- Produce transparent test results and recommend whether the solution is ready to progress.
Implementation and Production Support- Validate production setup, monitoring, alerts, access, support ownership, runbooks, data flows, interfaces, and recovery procedures before launch.
- Support model office, production parallel, cutover, go-live, and stabilization, including rapid diagnosis and coordination of production issues.
- Ensure operational teams can identify when automated processing is incomplete or incorrect and have clear paths to investigate, recover, and escalate.
BAU Technology-Enabled Service Delivery- Oversee the health and effectiveness of the automated service, including interfaces, exceptions, recurring defects, control results, and operational workarounds.
- Partner with Operations, FRS, Product, and Technology to resolve root causes and prioritize enhancements based on client, risk, control, and efficiency impact.
- Maintain regression assets and readiness documentation as functionality changes and new clients are onboarded.
- Identify opportunities to improve observability, straight-through processing, automated controls, testing efficiency, and service resilience.
What Success Looks Like- Requirements are complete and testable, and delivered functionality matches the approved operating and control model.
- Testing provides credible evidence across end-to-end processing, exceptions, interfaces, controls, and recovery scenarios.
- Production issues are diagnosed quickly, recurring failures are addressed at root cause, and the automated service becomes more resilient over time.
Required Experience and Capabilities- Fund operations experience combined with strong technical aptitude and the ability to understand complex end-to-end data and processing flows.
- Hands-on experience writing requirements and test cases, executing UAT, managing defects, and supporting production implementation or stabilization.
- Ability to review user stories and technology designs critically and translate operational needs into specific, testable outcomes.
- Experience working across integrated platforms, upstream and downstream teams, and exception-driven operating processes.
- Strong problem solving, precision, curiosity, ownership, and ability to work effectively as requirements and technology evolve.
Preferred Experience- Experience with fund recordkeeping technology, workflow tools, interfaces, or automated transaction processing.
- Knowledge of data analysis, production monitoring, incident triage, service management, and technology control practices.
