Job Description
Role Purpose
We are looking for an ACBS SME to support a core banking transformation program for a client based in the Philippines.
The SME will own the commercial lending product stream (ACBS), driving requirement analysis and To-Be solution
design for loan origination, servicing, disbursement, and repayment.
This is a core banking implementation role. The candidate must have hands-on, end-to-end experience delivering core
banking transformation programs (not advisory-only exposure), and must be comfortable working directly with product
vendors to challenge, validate, and finalize the To-Be system design.
Key Responsibilities
MULTIVENDOR, MULTI-COUNTRY TEAM
- Analyze lending requirements and support solution design for loan origination, servicing, disbursement, and
repayment processes on ACBS.
- Support integration design between ACBS and upstream/downstream systems, including GL posting and
reconciliation, and payment/disbursement rails.
- Act as the subject matter expert (SME) for the product/module during requirement analysis, solution design, build,
testing, and cutover phases of the core banking implementation.
- Engage directly with product vendors to clarify product capability, configuration options, gaps, and constraints,
and drive decisions on the To-Be system design.
- Lead and/or contribute to workshops with business stakeholders, interface teams, the Solution Architecture
team, and platform vendors to gather and validate requirements.
- Prepare and own Interface Specification Documents (ISDs)/functional and technical design documents, and drive
review sign-off with upstream and downstream teams.
- Support solution design for integrating the platform with upstream and downstream applications via MQ,
REST/SOAP APIs, and file-based interfaces.
- Support SIT/UAT test planning and execution, triage integration defects, and drive resolution with the vendor and
delivery teams.
- Support data mapping, migration validation, and reconciliation activities relevant to the module.
- Support cutover planning and hypercare activities through go-live.
- Manage stakeholders across business, technology, and vendor teams, and escalate risks/issues proactively.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Hands-on ACBS (Advanced Commercial Banking System) implementation experience within a core banking
transformation program.
- Strong functional knowledge of commercial lending lifecycle: origination, servicing, disbursement, and
repayment.
- Experience defining lending interfaces with GL and accounting/reconciliation systems.
- 10+ years of overall IT experience, with substantial hands-on experience in core banking
transformation/implementation programs.
- Proven experience working as an individual contributor who can independently drive solutioning, documentation,
and approvals, this is a hands-on role, not a purely supervisory one.
- Strong stakeholder management skills; able to work with business teams, interface/platform teams, and Solution
Architecture teams.
- Experience preparing and obtaining sign-off on Interface Specification Documents (ISDs) and integration design
artifacts.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting solution options to senior
stakeholders and vendors.
- Should be in the Philippines for entire duration of the project.
