• Serve as the primary integration liaison for project management and onboarding across Investments, Client Advisors, Compliance, Legal, Technology, and Operations, ensuring aligned communication and shared accountability across all functional stakeholders.

• Chair and facilitate regular cross-functional working sessions to track integration milestones, surface interdependencies, and drive resolution of competing priorities across business units.

• Maintain a current stakeholder map identifying decision-makers, subject matter experts, and escalation contacts across each function for rapid issue resolution, distinct from the project-level tracking and escalation protocols detailed in Section V.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for managing the data integration component of Firm acquisitions, coordinating the assessment and onboarding of acquired client data into the Lazard technology ecosystem.

• Own end-to-end integration of all client data deliverables into Lazard Wealth’s core infrastructure tools, including Addepar and Salesforce, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and platform-readiness across all client records.

• Manage data mapping, validation workflows, and onboarding pipes to ensure seamless flow of client data into the Lazard technology ecosystem with minimal manual intervention.

• Partner with platform vendors, internal technology teams, and Information Security to manage system configurations, integration APIs, and data feed infrastructure supporting client-facing and operational workflows.

• Conduct a comprehensive assessment of all current client deliverables — including reports, data outputs, and communications — evaluating scope, format, frequency, and fit within the existing Lazard technology and operations ecosystem.

• Develop a systematic build-vs-buy framework to determine which deliverables can be constructed natively within existing platforms and which require third-party solutions or custom development.

• Identify capability gaps across the current ecosystem and produce a prioritized gap analysis — including a proposed list of potential software systems to address identified gaps — with actionable recommendations, timelines, and resource requirements for leadership review.

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive project map encompassing all active and planned integration initiatives, including ownership, dependencies, milestones, and status across each workstream.

• Proactively identify process, technology, and resource gaps that could impede integration objectives, and develop mitigation plans in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

• Establish and communicate clear escalation protocols — defining trigger criteria, reporting channels, and decision-making authority — for issues that require leadership intervention or cross-functional resolution.

• Produce regular status reporting for senior leadership, translating technical integration progress into business-impact terms and flagging at-risk items with recommended corrective actions.

• Drive post-implementation reviews following major integration milestones, capturing lessons learned and embedding improvements into future project planning processes.
