Operating at the heart of the V6-to-V9 migration, this role bridges business, technology and compliance workstreams — owning the coordination of complex, cross-functional dependencies that fall outside the core build scope but are essential to a successful go-live and long-term platform health. The role sits within the XTEL Program team, reporting directly to the XTEL Program Manager. It requires a combination of program rigor, technical literacy, business process understanding and stakeholder management capability across a highly complex multi-platform environment.
