• Establish and manage connectivity, data pipelines, interfaces, and secure integration patterns between TD environments, vendor environments, and internal data and analytics platforms.
• Ensure adherence to technology, security, privacy, resiliency, data governance, architecture, and regulatory control standards, including confirming that vendor commitments are understood, tracked, evidenced, and met.
• Maintain clear alignment with FCRM leadership, technology partners, and vendor stakeholders on roadmap priorities, delivery sequencing, dependencies, and implementation schedules.
• Provide senior-level delivery accountability across technology and data components, proactively managing risks, issues, dependencies, funding considerations, and delivery trade-offs.
• Oversee vendor relationship management for technology delivery, including performance management, issue resolution, delivery quality, escalation management, and alignment to contractual and operational commitments.

• Prepare executive-ready communications, status updates, decision materials, and escalations that clearly articulate progress, risks, mitigations, impacts, and required leadership actions.

• Operate as a strategic technology leader who can translate financial crimes risk objectives into executable technology roadmaps and delivery outcomes.
• Influence senior stakeholders across business, risk, technology, infrastructure, data, and vendor organizations without relying solely on direct authority.

• Knowledge of anti-money laundering, financial crimes compliance, fraud, sanctions, investigations, regulatory reporting, or a comparable risk domain; investigations-focused experience is preferred.
• Strong understanding of banking data relevant to financial crimes investigations, including customer, account, transaction, alert, case, counterparty, and regulatory reporting data.
• Experience with enterprise integrations, data pipelines, APIs, batch processing, online system integrations, data transformation, and historical data migration.
• Experience delivering mission-critical platforms with regulatory, audit, resiliency, privacy, security, and data governance requirements.
• Familiarity with AI, machine learning, automation, and advanced analytics use cases that improve analytical, operational, or investigative workflows, with an appreciation for governance, explainability, and responsible adoption.
