• Plan, organise, monitor, and control all assigned delivery efforts using appropriate tools and methodologies.
• Oversee multiple concurrent time‑bound releases within the portfolio.
• Identify, communicate, and help implement risk mitigation strategies.
• Support Agile ceremonies, PI planning, and epic‑level delivery as required.
• Communicate clearly and crisply with technical teams, leadership, and business partners.
• Partner with PMs overseeing traditional project governance, ensuring alignment between delivery and regulatory/project artefacts.

Requirements:

• Multiple years of technical delivery experience within large‑scale technology organizations.
• Multiple years in Payments / Payment Processing within banks or financial institutions.
• Experience with Release Management and Tech Delivery processes (highly preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to lead delivery across a matrixed global environment.
• Proven capability to manage multiple simultaneous releases and delivery efforts.
• Strong Project Management skills with the ability to drive teams to results.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.

Plusses:

• Experience in ISO messaging (beneficial but not required).
• Exposure to legacy payments messaging formats.
• Experience supporting operational teams involved in Day‑2 payment processes (e.g., returns, recalls, investigations).
• Experience with Global Investigations or payments exception handling.
