Senior Product & Delivery Specialist - KYC Platforms

Your Role

Take end-to-end ownership of a set of IT initiatives within the KYC & Client Lifecycle technology portfolio, working alongside the Technology Product Manager. You will lead your projects independently, from requirements through to go-live, and act as the primary point of contact for the business and technical teams involved. The role exists to increase the delivery capacity of the portfolio: you will run your own workstreams rather than provide administrative support.

This is a build-and-scale leadership role. You will inherit strong engineering teams and real production responsibility, and you will be expected to turn a set of good practices into a coherent, measurable, enterprise-wide discipline.
