Batch Management & Operational Readiness

• Own the development and maintenance of end-to-end batch architecture, visualization models, and operational designs.
• Define batch-processing requirements, schedules, dependencies, service levels, and support models.
• Standardize batch documentation and drive alignment across Technology, Product, and Operations teams.
• Ensure operational readiness through monitoring, support frameworks, reporting, and escalation processes.

Conversion, Reporting & Optimization

• Define and coordinate conversion strategies, data-seeding activities, and overall data-readiness planning.
• Support end-to-end testing, conversion events, and production-readiness activities.
• Oversee batch reporting, performance monitoring, issue management, and root-cause analysis.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on operational stability, performance optimization, cycle-time reduction, and automation opportunities.

Stakeholder Leadership

• Serve as the central coordination point across Product, Technology, Operations, Delivery, Release Management, and Client stakeholders.
• Lead environment and batch governance forums, review sessions, and readiness assessments.
• Communicate program status, risks, dependencies, environment readiness, and batch performance to senior leadership and client stakeholders.
• Facilitate cross-functional decision-making and issue resolution throughout the implementation lifecycle.

What we value:

• Strong leadership and the ability to drive cross-functional initiatives involving multiple stakeholders, systems, and dependencies.
