Ample governance oversight is essential, alongside the ability to represent Technology credibly in regulatory, audit, and senior stakeholder forums.
Given the pace and complexity of the programme, you will be able to rapidly build a working understanding of highly detailed technical architectures and contribute immediately guiding design decisions, challenging complexity, and ensuring alignment to platform values from the outset.

- Maintain direct oversight of delivery across all contributing teams (Technology, Quants, Data, QSDG, GRA QE, Market Data), actively managing risks, issues, and dependencies.
- Drive execution at pace, proactively resolving blockers and ensuring milestones are delivered on time and within budget.
- Represent Technology in audit and regulatory engagements, owning responses and interfacing with regulators and control functions.
- Monitor regulatory developments and guide impact assessment and adoption in partnership with Global Risk Analytics and business stakeholders.
- Have the responsibility programme financials, including funding, resource prioritisation, and cost control across Technology, Risk, Front Office, and Finance.
- Provide concise, decision-focused updates to senior guidance and guide governance forums to drive accountability and momentum.
- Work directly with engineering and delivery teams to ensure clarity of requirements and maintain focus, quality, and delivery discipline.
- Adhere to SFRC programme management standards, providing timely, high-quality updates and inputs to the SFRC Programme Lead (including weekly status and monthly achievements) in a timely manner.
- Extensive experience delivering highly detailed trading and market risk programmes, ideally aligned to FRTB or similar regulatory initiatives.
- Proven ability to operate at senior levels in high-pressure, time-critical environments, taking ownership and driving outcomes with minimal oversight.
- Excellent guidance presence, with the ability to influence, highly detailed, and align senior stakeholders across Front Office, Risk, Technology, and Finance.
- Demonstrated ability to combine strategic thinking with execution, stepping into detail where required to drive progress.
Technical Skills and Experience.
- Ample technical grounding, with the ability to rapidly understand highly detailed architectures, data flows, and system integrations and apply this understanding from the outset.
- Proven experience across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC), with the ability to work effectively with developers, business analysts, and delivery teams.
