About the Role

We are undertaking a significant transformation of the Bank and are reimagining how we build a genuinely modern, intelligent banking platform for the future. This transformation spans Payments, FX, Data, Cloud, and AI, and will redefine both our technology landscape and future operating model.

This is a high-impact leadership role for an experienced Enterprise Architect who has successfully led large-scale banking transformations and can bridge the gap between strategic vision and practical execution. We're not seeking someone who governs architecture from the sidelines. We need a hands-on architectural leader who can shape the future direction of the Bank, challenge traditional thinking, and work closely with engineering and transformation teams to deliver tangible outcomes.

A key aspect of this role is helping to define how emerging technologies, including AI, agentic architectures, intelligent orchestration, and automation, can be leveraged to create the next generation of banking capabilities.

• Significant experience designing and implementing:

• Experience defining target operating models and business capability architectures.
• Familiarity with data mesh, real-time analytics, and enterprise data platforms.
• Understanding of modern banking ecosystem trends, open banking, and embedded finance.

• Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• Strong leadership presence and communication abilities.
• Commercial and business acumen.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive organizational change.
• Deep understanding of technology risk, security, and regulatory considerations.
• Passion for innovation and the future of AI-enabled banking
