- Coordinate business, technology, operations, testing, and migration activities across multiple teams.
- Manage project plans, dependencies, budgets, timelines, risks, and stakeholder expectations.
- Drive governance, reporting, and decision-making at program and senior management level.
- Ensure delivery complies with regulatory, security, risk, and audit requirements.
- Support the adoption of AI-enabled delivery practices across the programme.
- Contribute to the successful migration and decommissioning of legacy banking platforms.
