  • Implement risk technology measures and minor enhancements as needed to meet technical or business-mandated changes
  • Lead or contribute to the transition of data/functionality from the legacy system to the strategic future-state platform
  • Provide consultation and resolution guidance for cross-functional technology teams and business stakeholders
  • Adhere to firmwide compliance and operational standards; contribute to documentation and procedural updates

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 10+ years of experience working in IMS mainframe environments
