- Troubleshoot implementation issues and drive resolution.
- Document requirements, functional specs, implementation plans, and operating procedures.
- Partner with business stakeholders, architects, vendors, and delivery teams.
- Apply best practices from prior MTS engagements.
Required Qualifications:
- Proven ACI MTS product implementation experience.
- Strong understanding of payment processing and payment-modernization programs.
- Multiple MTS implementations from initiation through production.
- Ability to contribute independently with little ramp-up.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication.
- Agile and Waterfall delivery experience.
- Ability to work on-site in Edison, NJ.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- ACI UPF.
- RTPS (real-time payment systems).

- ISO 20022.
- ACH, Wire, RTP, FedNow, SWIFT, SEPA (or equivalent).
- Banking payment operations: workflows, settlement, reconciliation, exceptions.
