Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

App Integration and Testing Practice Goals

The consulting organization that you are creating and leading will be focused on advising clients on all things related to both testing and app integration. You will focus on problems where customers want to connect applications through APIs or a messaging layer, want to connect ERP systems, or want to integrate AI into their apps. You will also be responsible for helping to integrate or testing practice with the service areas that need to leverage it (mainframe modernization, app development, ERP implementation, etc…). Areas your testing team will get involved include:

• Identify requirements for application integration by understanding the business processes that leverage the applications.

• Create reliable application integration layers.

• Understand business problems and goals and help organizations understand their testing requirements both organizationally and on a specific program.

• Assess the adequacy and maturity of testing programs and organizations.

• Assess the opportunity for automated testing and improved testing practices.

• Define and deliver testing plans for functional, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing.

• Ensure the configuration management of tests.

• Ensure the auditability and transparent reporting of tests that have been run.

• Implement and configure common testing tools to create a testing platform.

• Creating a charter and organization for a client’s testing organization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Understanding Client Problems and Seeing Innovative Solutions: Service Owners in Kyndryl’s consulting organization know how to listen to clients facing real challenges insuring that the changes they deliver to production will meet the needs of their stakeholders. They can take what they have learned and propose innovative solutions that Kyndryl can help deliver. Whether that’s a new testing strategy and testing team structure, a model for enabling SAP data in a business process, a new set of automated testing tools, a method for monetizing API connectivity, a test plan for a specific program or project, or the automation of existing test cases.

• Service Offering Development : A good Consulting Director will discover patterns of client problems and then collaborate across partners, Kyndryl service offerings, and other consulting teams to create hardened capabilities that teams can use. In the testing role this collaboration is particularly important because your services will also be leveraged by our Mainframe Modernization, Application Development, BPM/RPA, and ERP Development teams.

• Create Understanding Across Kyndryl : Kyndryl has a large sales force who already know our clients and their needs. What they don’t know is how your practice can help their clients. You will need to constantly be educating our sales team so they are armed with your story.

• Business Development and Relationship Management : Once introduced to clients, you will develop and maintain relationship with key client stakeholders. You will negotiate terms with C-level clients, lead pursuit teams, and participate and lead the proposal development process.

• Delivery & Engagement Management : A Consulting Director’s job isn’t done when the customer is ready to buy. They own creating a budget for the project and supervising on-time and on-budget delivery; often creating the team structures, agile management practices, and project plans that will lead to success.

• Inspirational Leadership : The Applications and Data Practice is stronger because of the leadership of our Consulting Directors. They coach, challenge, mentor, instruct, and develop some of the brightest data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts in the company.
