Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery across large-scale transformation programs within complex banking environments
  • Oversee multiple project streams, ensuring alignment to program objectives, timelines, and budgets
  • Drive program governance, reporting, and risk management frameworks
  • Engage and influence senior stakeholders across business and technology
  • Ensure delivery outcomes align to strategic priorities and regulatory requirements
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams including project managers, BAs, and delivery leads
  • Manage dependencies, risks, and issues across the program lifecycle
  • Support the design and execution of target operating models and business change initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as a Program Manager within banking or financial services
  • Strong track record delivering large-scale transformation programs (core banking, digital, regulatory, or platform-led change)
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex, multi-stream programs with competing priorities
  • Strong governance, financial management, and reporting capability
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills - able to influence at executive level and drive outcomes
  • Experience working across both business and technology teams

If you have experience working in the following areas, we would be particularly interested in talking to you:

    1. Financial Crime
    2. Global Economic Resilience or Crisis
    3. M&A/Integration

Why This Role?
You’ll be joining a program that genuinely matters - high visibility, real complexity, and the opportunity to shape how a major bank operates into the future.
