Define and execute the technology operating model and roadmap in partnership with senior leadership.

Establish programme governance, delivery tracking, and stakeholder management across the business.

Support the creation of shared services and scalable back-office capabilities to enable growth.

Experience Required 

Extensive programme or delivery management experience within retail or challenger banking environments.

Proven experience in building or scaling banking technology platforms (from early-stage or start-up to operational maturity).

Strong understanding of core banking systems, loans, credit cards, payments, and customer onboarding.

Background in systems integration, particularly across CRM, KYC/AML, data, and operational systems.

Track record of working in unstructured, fast-moving organisations, implementing process and control.

Experience managing third-party vendors and outsourced systems (Finance, HR, deposit platforms, etc.).

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, comfortable engaging at all organisational levels.

Profile

Hands-on delivery leader - capable of combining strategy with practical programme execution.

Experienced in smaller banks or financial institutions, ideally with a "big fish in a small pond" mentality. Monzo, Metro etc.

Adept at bringing order and delivery focus to early-stage or transformation environments.

Available immediately or at short notice.

London-based, with flexibility to be onsite 2-3 days per week in Blackfriars.
