"""Role PurposeWe are looking for an Integration SME to support a core banking transformation program for a client based in the
Philippines. Unlike the module-specific SME roles, this position owns integration design end-to-end across all core
banking domains — Payments, Trade Finance, Lending, GL, and Markets — ensuring a coherent, well-documented
integration architecture between the core banking platform and its upstream/downstream ecosystem.
This is a core banking implementation role. The candidate must have hands-on, end-to-end experience delivering core
banking transformation programs (not advisory-only exposure), and must be comfortable working directly with product
vendors to challenge, validate, and finalize the To-Be system design.
The candidate should be able to work across product SMEs, business stakeholders, the Solution Architecture team,
and platform vendors to design, document, and obtain sign-off on integration solutions, and should be comfortable
being the cross-domain integration authority on the program.
Key Responsibilities
MULTIVENDOR, MULTI-COUNTRY TEAM
- Act as the subject matter expert for cross-domain integration architecture during requirement analysis, solution
design, build, testing, and cutover phases.
- Engage directly with product vendors and product SMEs (Trade, ACBS, CASA/Common Services, Payments,
Murex) to align on integration touchpoints and drive decisions on the To-Be integration design.
- Lead workshops with business stakeholders, interface teams, the Solution Architecture team, and platform
vendors to gather, validate, and finalize integration requirements.
- Own preparation of Interface Specification Documents (ISDs) and integration architecture artifacts, and drive
review and sign-off with all upstream and downstream teams.
- Coordinate integration testing (SIT/end-to-end) across domains, triage cross-system defects, and drive resolution
with vendors and delivery teams.
- Support cutover planning and hypercare across all integrated domains through go-live.
- Manage stakeholders across business, technology, and vendor teams, and proactively escalate cross-domain
integration risks a
