Your new job | About your key responsibilities
As Manager - Technology, Strategy & Transformation - Cloud, AI, Digital, you will be part of the Technology Strategy & Transformation team.

The team supports financial institutions - primarily in the banking sector in this role - throughout the entire transformation lifecycle: from strategy to execution. We work shoulder to shoulder with CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and COOs to define solutions, align decision-making, and ensure plans are put into action.

Our work includes AI strategy and enablement, modernization of critical legacy systems, hybrid and multi-cloud strategy, and enterprise architecture. In doing so, we bring together technology, data, and operating model design with the regulatory knowledge required to navigate this complex environment. For example, consider what is involved when implementing Agentic AI applications within a bank operating in 20 countries, where local teams have significant autonomy and hundreds of IT delivery teams must collaborate, while ensuring compliance from the start.

Strategy & Vision

• Advising financial institutions on technology strategy, architecture, and transformation (e.g., AI, Legacy-to-Cloud, Digital)
• Developing business cases and actionable roadmaps for organization-wide changes
• Designing solutions aligned with business goals, regulatory context, and operating models

Execution

• Prepare C-level decision-making materials, supported by sound analysis and clear storytelling
• Lead technical workstreams in vendor selection and transformation programs
• Guide cross-functional teams and facilitate strategic decision-making within IT, Risk, Data, and executive leadership

Growth & Leadership

• Take responsibility for one of our Go-to-Market chapters (e.g., AI, Cloud, Risk Tech), and contribute to thought leadership and proposition development
• Balance between conceptual problem-solving ability and hands-on leadership in execution
