• Manage risks, issues, dependencies, and competing priorities.
• Coordinate both business and technology change initiatives.

• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, including experience engaging with senior and challenging stakeholders.
• Strong programme planning, financial management, and reporting capabilities.
• Knowledge of both Agile and Waterfall delivery methodologies.
• Experience coordinating business and technology change.
• The ability to operate effectively across Finance, Risk, Audit, Change, and Technology functions.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, delivery-focused approach.
• Prior experience of SOX compliance, Finance transformation, or regulatory change programmes within banking or financial services.
