The opportunity

This is the role where delivery either comes together — ordoesn’t.

You will lead the Risk Technology delivery portfolio end-to-end, bringing structure, control, and momentum across a landscape of complex, high-stakesprogrammes. From onboarding and ODD to transaction monitoring and regulatory delivery, you ensure the portfolio is not just active — but performing .

Where others see a collection of projects, you see a system:
priorities, dependencies, risks, and outcomes.

You step in when delivery starts to fragment — when too many initiatives compete for attention, when ownership becomes unclear, and when progress turns into reporting instead of results.

Day-to-day responsibilities

Own the Risk delivery portfolio

• Lead the full portfolio across Risk Technology initiatives:CDD, onboarding, ODD remediation, transaction monitoring, and regulatoryprogrammes
• Ensure alignment betweenbusiness priorities, regulatory commitments, and technology delivery
• Maintain a clear,consolidatedview ofstatus, risks, dependencies, and outcomes

Drive execution and delivery discipline

• Shift focus from activity tracking tomilestone-based, outcome-driven delivery
• Ensure every initiative hasclear ownership, defined milestones, and measurable outputs
• Intervene when delivery drifts — and reset teams toward execution

Bring structure acrossprogrammes

• Translate a fragmented delivery landscape into acoherent,prioritisedroadmap
• Define and enforce aNow / Next / Laterview across the portfolio
• Ensure there isa single sourceof truth onwhat is being delivered, when, and why
• Identifyand actively manage dependencies across platforms (e.g.,Fenergo, TM, onboarding journeys)
• Surface conflicts early and drive trade-off decisions
• Ensure sequencing decisionsmaximisedelivery impact andminimiserework

Raise and resolve risks early

• Proactivelyidentifydelivery risks, bottlenecks, and capacity constraints
• Escalate with clarity — always with a proposed resolution
• Ensure risks are managed asexecution topics, not just reported

Lead high-impact governance and forums

• Run portfolio-level governance with a focus ondecisions and accountability
• Ensure meetings produce outcomes: decisions, owners, and deadlines
• Eliminatenoise, repetition, and passive status reporting

Own the narrative upward

• Provide concise updates focused onwhat matters: progress, risks, and decisions needed
• SupportExCo-level reporting with structured, outcome-driven messaging

Who are we looking for

A portfolio leader, not a status aggregator

• You have ledcomplex delivery portfolios, not just individual projects
• You know how to turn multiple moving parts into acoherent delivery system

Strong delivery and governance mindset

Deep understanding of risk and regulatory delivery

• Experience inrisk, compliance, or regulated environments
• You understand the pressure ofregulatory deadlines and audit expectations

Execution-first mentality

• Youprioritiseoutcomes over activity
• You challenge delays, push through blockers, anddon’taccept “in progress” as a result

Clarity and influence

• You simplify complexity into clear decisions and actions
• You can challenge senior stakeholders and drive alignment across functions
• Youoperateeffectively where ownership is unclear and structure is evolving
• You create clarity where it does not yet exist

Presence and leadership

• You bring authority and calm into complex discussions
• You raise the bar on accountability, preparation, and delivery standards
• You leave every meeting with a plan — not questions

This is a role for someone who wants toown delivery at scale— not a project, not a stream, but the system that makes Risk Technology deliver.
