* Project Execution Support: Act as technical lead and advisor throughout project delivery phases, ensuring smooth migration and business continuity.
* Stakeholder Alignment: Engage with technical and business leaders to ensure all roadmaps support strategic business goals.

* Deep understanding of API design, data migration, and enterprise systems integration.


Desirable

* Legal/FinTech/ InsurTech/ Professional Services sector experience.
* Experience with legal operations or industry-specific platforms (such as workflow and data processing tools).
