You will collaborate closely with Strategic Relationship Managers to align technical strategy with broader strategic growth goals and connect platform decisions to measurable business outcomes.

In support of this work, you will maintain and optimize ongoing firm configurations including SSO, SCIM, APIs, data flows, organization structure, and related dependencies, ensuring continued alignment with evolving best practices.
