• Partner closely with engineering, product, data platform, and business teams to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Support early-stage client and product readiness activities, including integration, user acceptance, and member testing.
• Troubleshoot complex issues that span multiple applications, integrations, and teams.
• Collaborate with globally distributed teams and coordinate technical requests across regions.
