• Serve as the primary bridge between business, engineering, architecture and operations.
• Manage cross-team dependencies across Trading, Credit & Lending, Custody, Risk, Finance, Operations and Core Banking.
• Own end-to-end testing coverage, from functional and integration testing through to business validation.

• Demonstrated ability to design and evolve sophisticated risk solutions, such as margining frameworks, liquidation logic, limits and real‑time risk monitoring
• Hands‑on experience working in agile / scrum environments, actively driving delivery end‑to‑end (backlog ownership, prioritization, acceptance criteria, release execution)
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with a structured approach to complex problem domains and high attention to detail
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to bridge business, engineering and architecture and explain complex topics to non‑technical audiences
• Self‑driven, proactive and comfortable taking full ownership of outcomes in a high‑impact environment
