Delivery Focus: Proven track record of delivering high‑quality, stable, and user‑centric Jira customizations in a large‑scale enterprise environment.

• Proven experience managing technical projects especially in BFSI domain and preferably in Talent environments.
• Strong understanding of Data Processing and ETL Process.
• Experience with Agile or Scrum project management methodologies.
