The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of operational processes and controls, experience delivering automation projects, and excellent communication skills to ensure successful adoption of new solutions.

• Stakeholder Engagement & Change Adoption: Serve as a liaison between technology teams and business stakeholders in operations. Provide training and guidance to operations staff adopting new automated processes to ensure smooth transitions. After implementation, highlight achieved improvements and value to encourage organization-wide support for automation initiatives.

Perform root-cause analysis on automation failures and implement enhancements to prevent recurrence. Gather feedback post-implementation and drive continuous improvement of automation solutions and processes. Identify opportunities to reuse components and implement best practices to increase efficiency and consistency across Wealth Management Operations automation projects.
