We are looking for a CASA/Common Services SME to support a core banking transformation program built on Oracle Flexcube. The SME will own the CASA (Current Account/Savings Account) and Common Services product streams, driving requirement analysis and To-Be solution design.
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.
Key Responsibilities:
- Multivendor, Multi- Country team
- Analyze CASA workflow requirements (account opening/maintenance, transaction processing) and Common Services configuration on Oracle FLEXCUBE.
- Support data mapping and integration design for CASA and Common Services with payments, GL, and reporting systems.
- Support configuration and design discussions for related modules (e.g., OBPY) where in scope for the project.
- Support message transformation design for standards such as ISO 20022 where applicable to CASA/payments integration.
- Act as the subject matter expert (SME) for the product/module during requirement analysis, solution design, build, testing, and cutover phases of the core banking implementation.
- Engage directly with product vendors to clarify product capability, configuration options, gaps, and constraints, and drive decisions on the To-Be system design.
- Lead and/or contribute to workshops with business stakeholders, interface teams, the Solution Architecture team, and platform vendors to gather and validate requirements.
- Prepare and own Interface Specification Documents (ISDs)/functional and technical design documents, and drive review sign-off with upstream and downstream teams.
- Support solution design for integrating the platform with upstream and downstream applications via MQ, REST/SOAP APIs, and file-based interfaces.
- Support SIT/UAT test planning and execution, triage integration defects, and drive resolution with the vendor and delivery teams.
- Support data mapping, migration validation, and reconciliation activities relevant to the module.
- Support cutover planning and hypercare activities through go-live.
- Manage stakeholders across business, technology, and vendor teams, and escalate risks/issues proactively.
Required Qualifications & Experience:
- Hands-on Oracle FLEXCUBE implementation experience covering CASA and Common Services modules, within a core banking transformation program.
- Strong functional knowledge of CASA account lifecycle and Common Services configuration.
- Experience with data mapping and interface design for CASA/Common Services integration.
- 10+ years of overall IT experience, with substantial hands-on experience in core banking transformation/implementation programs.
- Proven experience working as an individual contributor who can independently drive solutioning, documentation, and approvals, this is a hands-on role, not a purely supervisory one.
- Strong stakeholder management skills; able to work with business teams, interface/platform teams, and Solution Architecture teams.
- Experience preparing and obtaining sign-off on Interface Specification Documents (ISDs) and integration design artifacts.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting solution options to senior stakeholders and vendors.
- Reporting exposure with tools such as Tableau or Business Objects.
- Should be in the Philippines for entire duration of the project.
