FSD & Solution Design:
Translate business needs into detailed Functional Specification Documents covering workflows, data fields, limits, pricing, interfaces, and reporting.

Obtain sign-off from client stakeholders and internal development teams.

Configuration & Integration:
Configure treasury products such as money markets, FX, derivatives, securities, limits, and accounting rules. Specify and test interfaces with Core Banking Systems like T24, Flexcube, and Silverlake, as well as market data feeds, SWIFT, and regulatory reporting engines. Collaborate with technical teams on data migration, ETL mappings, and automation scripting.

Testing (SIT / UAT):
Design comprehensive test scenarios and traceability matrices. Lead System Integration Testing (SIT), manage defect triage and resolution. Prepare UAT materials, coach bank users, monitor progress, and secure final approvals.

Training & Change Management:
Develop user manuals, quick-reference guides, and e-learning content. Deliver classroom and hands-on training for front, middle, and back-office teams. Guide users on updated operating procedures and controls.

Go-Live & Post-Implementation:
Plan cut-over activities including data loads, parallel runs, and contingency plans. Provide on-site hyper-care support, track and resolve issues until closure. Facilitate smooth handover to production support and SLA governance teams.
