Proficient in creating data crosswalks, process diagrams, and system interaction flows

Hands-on experience with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Lucidchart, Postman, and Agile boards

Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Comfortable working across multiple teams, systems, and concurrent tracks of delivery

Experience working in an Agile environment is a strong asset

Familiarity with system control frameworks, SOX requirements, or large transactional data systems is a plus

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience supporting the decommissioning of legacy systems and migration to modern platforms

Background in fuel pricing, logistics, billing systems, or enterprise sales data flows

Familiarity with managing SOX-sensitive data, including the implementation of controls, audit trails, and approval workflows
