• Coordinating integrated plans across workstreams, including dependencies, RAID, delivery assurance and financial controls
• Running cross-functional workshops to translate business drivers into future-state operating models aligned to technology strategy
• Managing budget, headcount planning and vendor performance against commercial, risk and delivery expectations
• Embedding change adoption, benefits tracking and hypercare approaches to ensure sustainable implementation

What we're looking for

• Bringing substantial years of experience delivering end-to-end large-scale transformation programmes in a global or regional banking context.
• Demonstrating proven ownership of a core banking migration or equivalent mission-critical platform transformation
• Showing experience delivering technology change in a merger or integration, carve-out or complex multi-entity environment
• Applying established cutover planning and execution capability including runbooks, command centre, rollback approach and hypercare
• Demonstrating working knowledge of core banking domains such as accounts, payments, lending, GL and customer master
• Applying strong governance, change control discipline and programme controls across scope, schedule, budget and delivery assurance
• Operating effectively across cross-functional and multi-location teams with accountability for delivery, cost and outcomes
• Bringing strong risk, control and compliance management aligned to HSBC taxonomy and governance expectations
• Holding PMP, Change Management, Six Sigma or equivalent certification, or bringing equivalent demonstrable experience are highly preferred
