Accountabilities:

Lead the full product development lifecycle, from discovery workshops and data mapping through platform development, reporting views, user training, and final handover.

Own delivery plans, milestones, acceptance gates, project scope, and client commitments across fixed-fee engagements with defined deadlines.

Establish gate criteria, supporting evidence, and acceptance requirements with clients before project sign-off; manage scope changes and clearly identify work for future delivery cycles.

Define value baselines with client finance teams and track measurable outcomes throughout each engagement.

Prioritize reliable data foundations by coordinating source mapping, data quality rules, exception routing, data lineage, and locked data snapshots before reporting views are developed.

Facilitate workshops with asset management, finance, investor relations, deal teams, and technology stakeholders to define reporting needs, KPIs, view specifications, and acceptance criteria.

Partner with engineering and data science teams to identify appropriate AI use cases, including agent-based data mapping, document extraction, retrieval with cited sources, and automated commentary drafting.

Ensure financial reporting remains based on fixed, auditable calculations approved by the client.

Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for executive sponsors, business owners, and technology leads, communicating progress clearly and escalating risks early.

Lead incumbent platform retirement activities, including historical data migration, parallel runs, sign-off, and transition planning.

Coordinate role-based user training and ensure complete documentation and operational knowledge transfer to the client's platform owner.
