Responsibilities:

• Assume overall responsibility for program delivery from initiation through post-go-live stabilization, managing program timelines, milestones, and deliverables against agreed commercial and regulatory commitments.
• Maintain an integrated program plan across concurrent workstreams - typically spanning core banking, digital channels, card management, compliance, payments, middleware architecture, and data migration - ensuring cross-vendor dependencies are actively identified and resolved.
• Manage program governance including risk and issue tracking, change control, executive reporting, RAID log maintenance, and milestone readiness reviews with client and regulatory stakeholders.
• Facilitate coordination across external vendor partners and internal Sutherland workstream leads, promoting alignment of plans, resolution of cross-party dependencies, and continuity of delivery momentum.
• Collaborate with the Enterprise Architect and Business Analyst / Product Owner to ensure that technical decisions are appropriately sequenced within the program schedule and remain commercially viable.
• Lead data migration planning across multiple iterative cycles in close collaboration with legacy system subject matter experts and target platform teams.
• Oversee budget tracking, resource forecasting, and commercial reporting in accordance with the agreed engagement model.
• Represent program status and progress to client executive leadership, adapting communication style to technical, operational, and board-level audiences as required.
• Act as a trusted adviser to client stakeholders throughout the program lifecycle, supporting informed decision-making and the adoption of industry best practices in banking transformation delivery.

Required Skills

• A minimum of ten years of program or project management experience, including at least three full-cycle banking or financial services transformation programs delivered end-to-end.
• Demonstrated experience managing multi-vendor, SaaS-based delivery environments, including core banking platforms such as Finastra, Temenos, Oracle FLEXCUBE, or equivalent.
• Sufficient familiarity with integration architecture concepts - including API management, middleware, and event-driven patterns - to engage substantively with vendor technical teams and evaluate proposed approaches.
• Experience in data migration planning and execution for financial systems, including legacy AS/400, IBM DB2, or mainframe environments, is considered a strong advantage.
• A proven record of managing fixed-price or hybrid commercial programs with formal change control frameworks and structured executive reporting.
• Formal project management certification: PMP, PRINCE2, or MSP is required; SAFe or equivalent Agile credentials are advantageous.
• Prior experience operating within regulated banking environments, including engagement with central bank or financial regulatory authorities.
