- Coordinate cloud platform activities (AWS, Azure, or GCP), ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture and security standards.
- Manage cross-functional teams using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery methodologies depending on program needs.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate technical, operational, and regulatory risks, escalating appropriately to senior leadership.
- Partner closely with information security, risk, and compliance teams to ensure cloud solutions meet banking and regulatory requirements.
- Oversee vendor and system integrator relationships, ensuring delivery commitments, quality standards, and timelines are met.
- Support data and application migration planning, including cutover strategies, testing coordination, and post?migration stabilization.
- Facilitate stakeholder alignment on priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs, balancing speed, stability, and risk.
- Ensure documentation standards are met, including architecture artifacts, runbooks, and operational handoffs.
- Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes, tools, and communication models throughout the program lifecycle.
Stakeholder & Executive Communication
- Provide concise, executive-ready program updates to senior leadership.
- Translate complex delivery and technology topics into clear business-level insights.
- Drive alignment and decision-making across senior stakeholders.

- Proven ability to manage cross-functional technical teams (engineering, infra, security, data)
- Deep experience with SDLC, Agile/Scrum, and hybrid delivery models
