Job description

Job Description

Leading the way in financial IT service market in Korea, we now seek to expand our expertise to the APAC. With LG CNS Singapore, you will embark on a journey to deliver cutting-edge IT technologies to APAC clients, which have been proven successful in Korea and become an industry-leading Digital Transformation expert.

Work Location: Singapore / Philippines / Vietnam

Role Purpose

We are looking for an Integration SME to support a core banking transformation program for a client based in the Philippines. Unlike the module-specific SME roles, this position owns integration design end-to-end across all core banking domains — Payments, Trade Finance, Lending, GL, and Markets — ensuring a coherent, well-documented integration architecture between the core banking platform and its upstream/downstream ecosystem.

This is a core banking implementation role. The candidate must have hands-on, end-to-end experience delivering core banking transformation programs (not advisory-only exposure), and must be comfortable working directly with product vendors to challenge, validate, and finalize the To-Be system design.

The candidate should be able to work across product SMEs, business stakeholders, the Solution Architecture team, and platform vendors to design, document, and obtain sign-off on integration solutions, and should be comfortable being the cross-domain integration authority on the program.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the subject matter expert for cross-domain integration architecture during requirement analysis, solution design, build, testing, and cutover phases.
• Engage directly with product vendors and product SMEs (Trade, ACBS, CASA/Common Services, Payments, Murex) to align on integration touchpoints and drive decisions on the To-Be integration design.
• Lead workshops with business stakeholders, interface teams, the Solution Architecture team, and platform vendors to gather, validate, and finalize integration requirements.
• Own preparation of Interface Specification Documents (ISDs) and integration architecture artifacts, and drive review and sign-off with all upstream and downstream teams.
• Coordinate integration testing (SIT/end-to-end) across domains, triage cross-system defects, and drive resolution with vendors and delivery teams.
• Support cutover planning and hypercare across all integrated domains through go-live.
• Manage stakeholders across business, technology, and vendor teams, and proactively escalate cross-domain integration risks and issues.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of overall IT experience, with substantial hands-on experience designing integration architecture in core banking transformation programs.
• Demonstrated experience integrating core banking with Payments, Trade Finance, Lending, GL, and Treasury/Markets systems (e.g., Murex).
• Experience with middleware/integration layers such as ESB, API Gateway, or iPaaS platforms.
• Experience developing source-to-target data mapping and transformation logic across multiple domains.
• Experience supporting SIT/end-to-end testing, and troubleshooting integration defects across systems.
• Working knowledge of security and compliance requirements for banking/payment integrations (e.g., OAuth2, SSL, regulatory compliance).
• Proven experience working as an individual contributor who can independently drive solutioning, documentation, and approvals across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting cross-domain integration solutions to senior stakeholders and vendors.
• Should be in the Philippines for entire duration of the project.

Good to Have

• Prior experience as a techno-functional integration lead spanning core banking plus payments/trade/lending domains.
• Exposure to treasury/markets integration (e.g., Murex) for trades, risk, and P&L feeds.
• Experience monitoring integration SLAs, throughput, and latency in a production banking environment
