• Be comfortable working in multi-disciplinary teams and navigating complex stakeholder environments to reach aligned outcomes.
• Demonstrate the ability to apply emerging technologies, especially in data, AI, cloud and automation, decisively to advance enterprise-level objectives.
• Bring depth of experience in Banking processes and technology landscapes, gained through enterprise or solution architecture roles on complex modernisation or reinvention programmes.
