    • Facilitate workshops with business, architecture, application, infrastructure, and operations teams.
  • Modernization Strategy
    • Evaluate target-state solutions and replacement options for legacy print and correspondence platforms.
    • Define business, functional, operational, and technical requirements.
    • Develop future-state architecture recommendations, migration approaches, and implementation roadmaps.
    • Support technology evaluations involving CCM platforms, document management, AWS, APIs, and modernization tools.
    • Build executive-level business cases, funding requests, and governance materials.
  • Program Leadership
    • Transition into Program Manager role during implementation.
    • Manage project plans, risks, dependencies, stakeholder communications, and governance activities.
    • Coordinate business, development, architecture, cloud, infrastructure, vendor, and testing teams.
    • Support architecture reviews, funding approvals, and executive decision making.

  • 10+ years of Business Analysis, Project Management, or Program Management experience.
  • Strong Mainframe background with experience in:
    • IBM z/VSE and/or z/OS
    • COBOL and Assembler
    • JCL, VSAM, DB2
    • Batch processing environments
    • Experience with Mainframe modernization and legacy application transformation initiatives.
    • Strong requirements gathering, process analysis, and documentation skills.
    • Proven ability to drive discovery efforts and translate findings into actionable roadmaps.
    • Excellent executive communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Experience:

  • Mainframe modernization and platform migration programs
  • OpenLegacy or API enablement solutions
  • Customer Communications Management (CCM) platforms such as Quadient Inspire or Exstream
  • Document Management platforms such as OnBase
  • AWS and cloud-native architectures
  • Insurance, financial services, or other highly regulated industries
  • Print, correspondence, billing, and customer communication systems

Key Deliverables:
