1. Understanding how technology works in a big bank / financial organization
2. Able to communicate well with the different departments
3. Able to extract the documentation from these departments and make a synthesis of what they say
4. This candidate does not need to be technically aware of how these things work – he can talk to SMEs on the line and write down what they say
5. They are looking for someone who can document and share it with easily with people
