About the Role
We're looking for an IBM FileNet Expert to help scope a FileNet implementation, migration, modernization, or support project. This is a discovery and scoping-focused engagement: you'll join client calls to understand business and technical context, ask the right questions to clarify the current FileNet environment and future-state goals, and help define effort, risk, dependencies, and delivery approach. If you can walk into a client conversation and quickly translate ambiguous business needs into a clear technical scope, this is built for that.
What You'll Do
Join client calls to understand business and technical context around the FileNet environment
Help scope the full FileNet project, including effort estimation, risks, dependencies, and required skill sets
Ask relevant technical questions to clarify the current FileNet environment and future-state goals
Provide recommendations on the best delivery approach and next steps
Assess technical requirements during client-facing discovery calls
Identify project risks, dependencies, and an appropriate delivery approach
Translate business needs into clear, actionable technical requirements
What You Bring
Strong hands-on experience with IBM FileNet
Experience scoping FileNet implementation, migration, modernization, or support projects
Ability to assess technical requirements during client-facing discovery calls
Experience identifying project risks, dependencies, and delivery approach
Strong understanding of enterprise content management systems
Ability to translate business needs into technical requirements
Experience working with enterprise architecture or solution architecture teams
Nice to Have
Experience with IBM Content Navigator
Experience with document management, records management, or workflow automation
Experience with FileNet upgrades, integrations, or cloud migration
Why This Role
High-leverage engagement: Shape project direction at the scoping stage, before delivery begins
Client-facing impact: Direct involvement in discovery calls, not buried in backend execution
Enterprise relevance: Work with enterprise content management systems that matter to large organizations
Focused scope: A clearly defined engagement centered on scoping and recommendations, not open-ended delivery
