• Operate within formal change, risk, and governance frameworks.

Required Experience

• Strong background in Financial Services and regulated environments.
• Deep understanding of risk, risk assessments, and change control.
• Proven experience with enterprise networking technologies (e.g. BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, VXLAN / spine‑leaf).
• Comfortable working under pressure in high‑visibility environments.
