  • The ability to explain complex topics clearly and influence senior stakeholders with credibility.
  • Experience in a regulated or professional services environment would be advantageous.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to shape a new senior leadership role at a firm where technology, data and innovation are central to how we support our clients and our people. You will have the scope to influence strategy, strengthen resilience and help build secure, modern services across the firm.
