• Experience leading a major core banking consolidation, migration, upgrade, or cloud-hosted transformation in a multi-client environment
• Experience converting legacy core banking capabilities into modern API and data product architectures
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Business, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience
