• Identify technical dependencies, assess risks and support delivery planning across multiple concurrent initiatives.
• Support testing and quality assurance, investigate defects and ensure solutions meet business requirements before release.
• Take ownership of requirements and drive initiatives from initial analysis through to delivery.

What we're looking for:

• Proven ability to produce technical documentation, including functional and technical specifications, data mappings and sequence diagrams.
• Confidence interpreting Swagger/OpenAPI specifications, integration guides and solution design documentation.
• Strong understanding of the SDLC and extensive experience working in Agile environments.
• Familiarity with lending and broker platforms such as NextGen, ApplyOnline, Simpology or similar solutions highly regarded.
• Experience working with multiple vendors, integration partners and technology teams.
• Strong stakeholder management, consultation and negotiation skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and resolve competing priorities.
• A proactive, analytical and detail-oriented approach, with the ability to work independently and manage multiple initiatives.
