3. Domain Leadership (Core Banking & Payments)

  • Provide deep expertise across core banking, payments, deposits, and transaction banking
  • Guide modernisation approaches including platform transformation and integration strategy
  • Anchor credibility with both business and technology stakeholders

4. Commercial & Account Growth

  • Identify and drive account expansion opportunities
  • Lead value-based discussions on scope, solutions, and outcomes
  • Contribute to revenue growth and long-term account strategy
  • Balance delivery excellence with commercial outcomes

5. Team Leadership

  • Lead and develop cross-functional teams (delivery, architecture, domain)
  • Drive high performance, accountability, and collaboration
  • Mentor future leaders and build capability within the team

Requirements

  • 10+ years in IT transformation in banking with a proven track record delivering core banking or payments implementations end-to-end
  • Experience working with Tier-1,2 banks or complex financial institutions
  • Strong knowledge of core banking platforms, retail and corporate banking and payments ecosystems
  • Understanding of banking architecture, integration, and modernization patterns
  • Demonstrated ability to operate as a strategic advisor to senior stakeholders
  • Ability to lead large teams across locations
  • Experience contributing to or owning account growth and revenue expansion
  • Ability to identify opportunities and translate them into tangible business outcomes
