· Establish and enforce development standards, code review practices, source documentation, testing controls, deployment procedures, and migration approvals across development, test, and production environments to reduce operational risk.

· Lead technical testing and release readiness for new compensation plans, plan changes, integrations, and platform enhancements; support user acceptance testing, validate calculation results, and coordinate production implementation and stabilization.

· Develop and maintain end-user reports and outbound data products that provide clear visibility into incentive results, trends, adjustments, payroll outputs, and operational controls for associates and business stakeholders.

· Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and design guidance to Varicent developers, analysts, administrators, and delivery partners; serve as the senior escalation point for complex platform, performance, and integration issues.
