You'll also manage in-bound work requests and ensure both efficient and effective prioritisation and scheduling of work across the domain, using transparency and fast feedback loops to identify scheduling problems or other issues.

Along with managing relationships with platform, domain and relevant cross-domain stakeholders, you'll consistently be looking for potential improvements of existing processes and procedures across production management disciplines. As such, you'll establish an environment of continual learning and feedback.

You'll also be:

Collaborating with and influencing colleagues and stakeholders across the bank and third party suppliers on the applications under management

You'll also demonstrate:

Proven leadership in managing Production Support and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) functions for Risk Technology platforms, ensuring high availability, operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and reliable service delivery across Market Risk, Credit Risk, and other business-critical applications

Strong expertise in driving operational excellence through SRE best practices, including observability, proactive monitoring, incident management, automation, production governance, and continuous improvement initiatives that enhance platform stability and reduce operational risk

Exceptional stakeholder management and collaboration skills, with the ability to partner effectively with Risk, Compliance, Front Office, and Technology teams to deliver resilient, scalable risk data, analytics, and regulatory reporting capabilities while maintaining robust operational controls and service-level objectives

Demonstrated success in building, mentoring, and leading high-performing Production Engineering and SRE teams, fostering a culture of accountability, reliability engineering, automation-first thinking, operational ownership, and data-driven decision-making within complex, risk-sensitive environments
