This role will act as the technology coordination and functional lead during the transition phase, working closely with stakeholders, NIIT teams, and various specialist consultants to establish the technology landscape required to support the agreed Learning Services Delivery Model.

2. Techno-Functional Requirements Management

• Translate operational and service delivery requirements into clear system and integration requirements.
• Work with relevant technical consultants and system owners to ensure these requirements are understood, validated, and implemented correctly.
• Ensure requirements cover areas such as Workday Learning administration, vendor management workflows, and operational reporting.

3. Integration Coordination (Workday, SSO, Data Flows)

• Coordinate integration activities across multiple systems, including:
• Workday Learning integrations and data flows
• Single Sign-On (SSO) enablement
• Downstream data exchanges between systems and NIIT platforms
• Work closely with Workday and IT consultants who will implement the integrations, ensuring:
• Requirements are clearly defined
• Integration design aligns with the service model
• Testing scenarios are prepared and validated.

4. Testing, Validation & Readiness

• Define and coordinate functional and integration testing scenarios across systems.
• Ensure integrations and technology components are validated from a service delivery and operational perspective.
• Coordinate UAT and transition readiness activities with Client and NIIT stakeholders.

5. Enterprise Governance & Compliance Coordination

• Support the completion of required enterprise governance processes, including:
• Information Security assessments
• Data Privacy reviews
• AI governance assessments (if applicable)
• Enterprise Assurance and risk reviews
• Work with Client and NIIT stakeholders to ensure required documentation, controls, and validations are completed.

6. Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination

• Act as a central coordination point across technical and functional stakeholders during the transition phase.
• Collaborate closely with:
• IT and enterprise architecture teams
• Workday and integration consultants
• L&D operations teams
• NIIT technology, platform, and service delivery teams.
• Facilitate alignment across stakeholders on technical scope, dependencies, and delivery timelines.

7. Transition Planning & Knowledge Transfer

• Support the planning and execution of technology-related transition activities required to move into steady-state service delivery.
• Ensure all systems, integrations, and operational processes are ready for go-live.
• Coordinate documentation, handovers, and knowledge transfer to NIIT operational teams post-transition.

Required Skills & Experience

• NIIT DNA: Deep understanding of NIIT's Managed Training Services (MTS) tools and operational workflows.
• Strong experience in techno-functional consulting roles supporting enterprise system transitions or service setup programs.
• Ability to bridge business requirements and technical implementation across multiple systems.
