- Sound understanding of core banking processes and how they interact with credit origination, underwriting, trade finance and fraud management systems.

- Experience preparing solution proposals covering solution design, technical compliance with RFP requirements, statement of work (SOW), technology justification and key assumptions.
- Experience running consultative, insight-led client engagements - workshops, process discovery sessions, value assessments - that help clients recognize process friction and build the case for a platform-centric automation solution, well ahead of and independent of formal procurement.
