The OpportunityWe're partnering with a leading bank on a major transformation programme: the build and migration of a proprietary lending platform that will replace legacy systems and sit at the heart of their future banking operations.
This is a high-profile programme where you'll work closely with senior leadership, delivering change that impacts core banking operations and the bank's own lending portfolio. It's an opportunity to take ownership of a complex programme, influence decision-making, and ultimately play a pivotal role in shaping the bank's future technology landscape.
The RoleAs Programme Manager, you'll:
Lead delivery of the new lending platform programme, ensuring governance, risk, and regulatory standards are embedded.
Manage a matrixed team of 12-15 (mix of onshore and offshore), working across lending, governance, and process simplification initiatives.
Partner with senior stakeholders to communicate complex technical and business issues in simple, actionable terms.
Drive process improvement and simplification across lending operations, while preparing to extend into the wider change portfolio once lending workstream is completed.
Report into senior leadership, providing visibility, assurance, and strategic direction.
Proven experience as a Programme Manager in banking or financial services.
Strong knowledge of core banking systems; lending platform exposure is highly desirable.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills - able to influence at executive level.
Track record in governance, risk management, and regulatory programmes.
Ability to lead matrixed teams and work across multiple business areas.
Comfortable in environments moving from legacy systems to proprietary platforms.
