• Track execution status, risks, and open items through go‑live

This role requires strong working knowledge of UAT execution and data validation. While the individual will not execute every test case personally, they must be capable of guiding testing efforts, reviewing results, and validating readiness.

Script Optimization & Reporting

• Review and optimize an existing library of 200+ validation and testing scripts
• Rewrite and structure scripts for clarity, efficiency, and repeatability
• Support backend reporting and validation documentation

Project Management & Stakeholder Coordination

• 5+ years of experience in systems project management, platform implementations, or regulated technology environments
• Direct experience with UAT execution, coordination, or oversight
• Experience supporting software deployments, system conversions, or platform migrations
• Strong understanding of data validation and conversion readiness activities
• Excellent organizational and communication skills
• Comfortable operating as a hands‑on knowledgeable systems SME

Preferred Experience

• Commercial banking or Treasury / Cash Management experience
• Exposure to enterprise cash management platforms
• Experience supporting large‑scale customer or platform migrations

Location / Work Model

• Hybrid role; candidate must be located within the regional footprint
