• Make progress and decisions clear, giving stakeholders a dependable view of delivery, risks, and trade-offs
• Deliver technology control improvements, working with engineering, Risk, Compliance, and Audit on requirements including SOX and IT General Controls
• Improve how engineering operates, using data and automation to reduce manual reporting and coordination
• Make changes sustainable, establishing clear ownership, processes, and handovers

Requirements:

• A strong track record of independently leading complex technical programmes across multiple engineering teams and business functions
• Enough technical understanding to work through system dependencies, implementation constraints, and rollout decisions with engineers
• Experience working closely with engineering leaders on planning, priorities, dependencies, and operational improvements
• Experience delivering technical programmes involving security, technology risk, regulatory requirements, or control improvements
• An understanding of control ownership, evidence requirements, and the distinction between implementing a change and having it validated for closure

Benefits:

• Competitive salary: £92,000-£118,000
• Opportunity to work on a global technology platform
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment
