  • Support SIT, UAT, production readiness, go-live, and post-production hypercare activities.
  • Advise clients on reconciliation best practices, operational controls, exception reduction, and financial risk mitigation.
  • Build trusted client relationships with business, operations, finance, technology, and senior stakeholder groups.
  • Work effectively within UAE, GCC, and Middle East client environments, respecting local business etiquette, relationship-driven engagement models, and cultural expectations.

Must Have Skills and Experience

  • Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to conduct requirements workshops, solution walkthroughs, training sessions, and stakeholder discussions in Arabic and English.

  • Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise reconciliation platform such as FIS IntelliMatch, SmartStream TLM, Duco, BlackLine, Gresham, Trintech, Oracle Reconciliation, or a similar reconciliation and transaction matching tool.
  • Proven end-to-end software implementation experience covering requirements gathering, solution design, configuration, integration support, SIT, UAT, production deployment, and post-go-live support.
  • Experience delivering projects for banks, financial institutions, payment service providers, fintech organizations, treasury functions, or finance operations teams.
  • Strong understanding of reconciliation operations, including transaction matching, exception management, cash reconciliation, GL reconciliation, account reconciliation, settlement reconciliation, and operational controls.
  • Practical understanding of banking operations, payments, treasury operations, financial accounting workflows, settlement processes, and financial control environments.
  • Strong business analysis skills, including process mapping, requirement documentation, gap analysis, solution fitment, and issue investigation.
  • Ability to translate business requirements into configurable solution designs and implementation work products.
  • Strong stakeholder management, workshop facilitation, problem-solving, and client communication skills.
  • Experience working with UAE, GCC, or broader Middle East clients.
  • Conversant with local UAE and Middle East business culture, stakeholder engagement practices, and relationship-driven client management.

  • Knowledge of Nostro, Vostro, cash, GL, card, ATM, payment, treasury, liquidity, securities, and intercompany reconciliation processes.
  • Knowledge of SWIFT MT and MX messages, ISO 20022, payment processing, treasury management, liquidity operations, or capital markets workflows.
  • Experience with SQL, database querying, data analysis, data mapping, and source-to-target mapping.
  • Experience working with file-based and API-based integrations, including CSV, XML, fixed-width files, and banking message formats.
