- Driving testing and validation activities, including SIT, UAT, and readiness reviews to confirm system setup, data integrity, and operational readiness
- Guiding clients through readiness, training, and procedural updates, ensuring proper use of FIS systems and successful adoption post-conversion
- Leading conversion execution and onsite/virtual cutover support, troubleshooting issues, validating outputs, and obtaining client sign-off on results
- Providing ongoing client support throughout the migration lifecycle, including issue resolution, balancing validation, and post-conversion stabilization
