Your Impact: Translate Multifamily secondary mortgage business events into clear, actionable accounting event requirements to support automation and operational scalability. Support working sessions with Finance, Technology, and Data partners to validate requirements, resolve open questions, and document decisions. Manage change requests by gathering requirements, performing impact analysis, and converting approved changes into prioritized user stories. Maintain end-to-end traceability from business needs through requirements, testing, and production outcomes. Partner with Control Leads and Operational Risk to design and implement automated controls (e.g., reconciliations, approvals, monitoring) aligned to policy and governance expectations. Maintain audit-ready documentation and support internal/external audits and remediation activities. Own SIT/UAT planning and execution, including test strategy, test cases, evidence collection, defect triage, and readiness sign-off support.

Plan and execute data conversion, data mapping and data reconciliation tasks. Develop and execute a transition plan to the Application Support team, including knowledge transfer, runbooks/procedures, and handoff of operational ownership.
