Ensure correct mapping of BFDL data fields, product configurations, and BRE logic across SFDC and Middleware layers
Act as solution SPOC for BFDL, coordinating with API, DB, Middleware, SFDC, BRE, and Data Lake teams for seamless delivery
Drive BFDL partner onboarding, including API specs alignment, CUG/UAT execution, webhook setup, and production readiness
Ensure compliance with RBI DLG for BFDL journeys, including consent capture, attribution logic, and audit trail readiness
Manage end-to-end delivery timelines for BFDL, tracking dependencies like SFDC Convert, API readiness, and partner callbacks
Lead UAT readiness for BFDL flows, including test data setup, journey validation, defect closure, and go-live sign-offs
Monitor BFDL funnel metrics, disbursal flows, and API performance, ensuring scalability and stability post go-live training to IT staff and end-users on SCCM and Intune usage and capabilities
Key Decisions / Dimensions
Solution Design Across Systems: Defining scalable integration architecture across BFDL PMW HMW/3-in-1 SFDC LMS while balancing speed vs reusability
Managing Changing Requirements: Handling evolving BFDL/COE requirements and deciding scope freeze vs CR during UAT and delivery phases
Dependency Timeline Control: Navigating critical dependencies (SFDC Convert, APIs, partner readiness) and deciding parallel vs sequential execution
Partner Readiness Go-Live Calls: Driving BFDL partner integration (APIs, webhooks, mapping) and taking go-live decisions despite partial readiness
Compliance Data Accuracy: Ensuring RBI DLG compliance, correct data mapping, and reconciliation across systems without impacting business timelines
Major Challenges
Complex cross-system delivery dependencies: Managing integrations across BFDL, Middleware, SFDC, and LMS with evolving requirements, partner readiness gaps, and limited control over external teams
Balancing accuracy, compliance timelines: Ensuring correct data mapping, reconciliation, and RBI DLG compliance while still meeting aggressive go-live and business delivery timelines
