* Familiarity with FSI core systems (transactions and analytical, etc.), including limitations, dependencies, vulnerabilities and security, and conversant in equivalent cloud-native architectures and the various migration pathways.
* Run a rhythm with key members of the FSI Team to gather information on customers’ business challenges, the key Industry Priority Scenarios gaining traction, and engineering gaps to feed into our product engineering team so that our platforms are richer for our customers and partners.
* In partnership with the FSI Partner Strategy Lead and the FSI Solutions Lead, work with key partners to understand their business and technical challenges in using our platform to deliver services and to develop new industry capabilities.
* Coordinate and manage to closure all customer/partner escalations directed toward the CVP and CTO that have product engineering implications needing work with engineering teams.
