5. Project Management experience in managing financial system projects and initiatives, with the ability to adapt to rapidly changing technology and business environments.
6. 5-8 years of experience in business architecture or financial systems, with at least 3 years in financial systems architecture.
7. Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Information Technology, or related field; Master’s degree or MBA is a plus.
