Why you'll love this job:

The successfully candidate will drive and support a wide breadth of activities in support of the INTRO group within TRI. As a result of the team's focus on elevating DTCC's innovative persona internally and externally, the ideal candidate is an excellent writer, adept at building relationships and collaborating across stakeholders, and can effectively prioritize and efficiently execute to thrive in a quick paced environment.

The role will involve focused research exercises in specific technological/business areas, intelligence gathering, providing inputs and researched raw data for white papers, blogs and presentations, developing standards and guidelines (tech selection decision trees, tech stack matrices etc.), managing and orchestrating area-specific logistics and forums (PPM processes, meetings, townhalls) etc. Another key focus area for this role will be developing new and/or light-weight subsets of existing DTCC processes that allow TRI projects to be launched, onboarded and executed at a fast pace while still meeting the necessary compliance and regulatory requirements.

There is a strong individual-contributor aspect to this role requiring subject matter expertise and the ability to independently conduct exercises related to research, analysis and process optimization.

The work environment will be fast-paced with aggressive targets and timelines, involving lean team structures and delivery-oriented approach with very clear and visible definitions of success and failure. Given the nature of this domain, the role will provide excellent learning opportunities on some of the latest technologies disrupting the business and technological landscapes.

• Assist in assessing new opportunities and business cases, creating project estimates etc.
• Conduct fast-paced vendor assessments including technology due diligence, tech evaluations, assessment of vendor-offered services, tools and platforms, attend presentations and demos, etc.
• Vendor management tasks including vendor onboarding, assessment of RFPs, SOWs, and other contractual paperwork
• As needed, conduct, support or participate in internal education drives including townhalls, strategy sessions, videos, blogs, public showcases etc.
• Stay consistently abreast with emerging technology and business landscape, keeping a keen eye on new opportunities and disruptions.
• Produce content for internal-facing newsletters, blogs and articles as required
• Conduct in-depth research of selected business/technological areas and topics to produce reports and data matrices on a short notice with aggressive timelines
• Function as a project manager / scrum master to create project plans, manage day-to-day logistics ensuring on-target progress, help the team navigate internal processes, remove roadblocks, manage PPM processes, and ensure clear and crisp communication to all internal and external stakeholders as needed.
• Recommend and provide inputs on the choice of appropriate technology stacks, review and assess architecture and software design, work with appropriate internal groups (ITA, TRM, SE etc.) to ensure compliance to standards, provide technical inputs, aid troubleshooting efforts etc.
• Develop, formalize and implement processes and ecosystems within TRI that enable rapid prototype development, fast vendor onboarding and speedy compliance/control checks
• Support process logistics related to day-to-day functioning of the area
• Contribute to managing and coordinating functional and project budgets
• Mitigate risk by following established procedures, spotting key errors and demonstrating strong ethical behavior
