• Manage a broad and varied book of work across multiple stakeholder groups, maintaining clear prioritization and consistent progress against program objectives.
• Identify thematic program issues at scale and develop structured, repeatable approaches to resolve them systematically across the delivery lifecycle.
• Maintain continuous feedback loops across delivery teams, applying lessons learned to sharpen execution and improve program performance over time.
• Identify, communicate, and resolve program delivery risks, ensuring issues are surfaced early and mitigated with clear ownership and follow-through.
• Bridge the communication gap between business leaders and technology teams, translating complex analytical findings into clear, impactful narratives for diverse audiences.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

• 10 or more years of experience applying statistical modelling and advanced analytical tools to large, complex data sets.
• Demonstrated ability to generate strategic insight from data, develop an execution strategy, and lead teams to deliver against it at program scale.
• Skilled at managing a broad and varied portfolio of work across multiple stakeholder groups simultaneously, maintaining clarity and delivery focus.
• Capable of operating at both the strategic level and in granular detail, with strong critical thinking and structured problem-solving skills.
• Experienced in proactively identifying, escalating, and resolving risks and issues throughout the program lifecycle.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience; a master's degree is an advantage.

Beneficial Skills & Qualifications:

• Experience in process improvement methodologies or formal project management practices.
• Familiarity with data governance, data lineage concepts, or metadata management within a financial services context.
