## Description

We are seeking a senior technology leader to partner closely with the Head of Technology for Enterprise Solutions in shaping the technology direction of a complex, regulated financial-services estate.

This is a hands-on principal engineer and architect role, not a pure governance or advisory architecture function. The role exists to ensure technology strategy is grounded in engineering reality, deep domain understanding, and operational outcomes.

Responsibilities include:

- Working directly with the Head of Technology to shape and refine strategy, stress-testing ideas against engineering, regulatory, and operational constraints

- Engaging closely with senior engineering leaders, platform teams, and product partners to turn strategy into real designs that can be built and run

- Getting involved early in complex or high-risk initiatives and stepping in when necessary, including during major incidents and recovery efforts

- Acting as the engineering authority across Enterprise Solutions, leading primarily through influence rather than line management

- Balancing long-term strategy with near-term delivery constraints, operational resilience, and regulatory expectations

- Representing the technology direction with clients and senior stakeholders, explaining design choices and trade-offs clearly and credibly

Requirements:

- 25+ years of technology leadership experience in tier-1 banking, capital markets, or other highly regulated, mission-critical environments

- Proven expertise in enterprise architecture and technology strategy, including defining multi-year roadmaps, reference architectures, design standards, and architectural governance for complex financial services platforms

- Strong technical depth in distributed, event-driven, data-intensive systems, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), security, resilience, regulatory compliance, and large-scale production environments

- Deep domain knowledge of financial services and emerging technologies, including banking operations, regulatory reporting, data platforms, AI/analytics in production, and modern architectural paradigms

Preferred qualifications:

- Strategic thinking and sound judgement, with the ability to balance long-term vision, regulatory requirements, operational realities, and business outcomes

- Influential leadership, capable of driving decisions, alignment, and engineering excellence through credibility, collaboration, and expertise rather than formal authority

- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management, able to articulate complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and risks clearly to executives, clients, regulators, and engineering teams

- Coaching and mentoring mindset, raising the capability of senior engineers and architects through hands-on guidance, design reviews, and practical problem-solving

Compensation and benefits:

- Anticipated base salary range: $177,036 to $350,000

- Eligible for an annual incentive plan and additional S&P Global benefits, including health and wellness programs, flexible downtime, continuous learning opportunities, and family-friendly perks
