Review technical documentation, architecture diagrams, interface specifications, deployment plans, and operational runbooks.
Stakeholder, Vendor & Partner Management
Act as a senior technical point of contact for internal teams, external vendors, technology partners, and client-side banking stakeholders.
Build trusted relationships with senior technology, business, risk, compliance, and operations stakeholders.

Clarify technical responsibilities, handoffs, ownership, and escalation paths across multiple parties.
Risk, Quality & Change Control
Proactively identify and manage technical risks related to architecture, data, integration, security, performance, compliance, vendors, and operations.
Support the project governance process by providing clear technical input on risks, issues, dependencies, assumptions, and change requests.
Assess the technical impact of change requests on scope, timeline, cost, quality, security, and operational readiness.
Ensure solution outputs meet agreed quality standards, acceptance criteria, and enterprise governance requirements.
Support testing strategy, defect resolution, performance validation, security review, readiness checkpoints, and go-live approval.
Team Leadership & Capability Building
Lead and mentor multi-disciplinary technical teams including architects, data engineers, software engineers, cloud engineers, testers, and technical analysts.
