Drive meaningful change where it matters most
We’re looking for a high-calibre Executive Manager, Crew Lead to lead Data Platforms & Resilience, a foundational Economic Crime capability focused on strengthening the data, platform and resilience foundations that enable effective detection, monitoring, investigations, reporting and risk management.
This crew is critical to the performance of the broader Economic Crime ecosystem. It requires a leader who can think horizontally across platforms, data flows, technology resilience, operational continuity, simplification, controls and service reliability.
We’re looking for someone who can lead a strategically important enabling crew, bringing together technology, data, risk, operations and business stakeholders to improve platform stability, data quality, delivery confidence and enterprise resilience. You will need to balance transformation, simplification and run accountability in a highly regulated and operationally important environment.
This is an opportunity to lead the capability that underpins many of the Bank’s most important Economic Crime outcomes, ensuring teams have the trusted data, stable platforms and resilient foundations needed to deliver safely and effectively.
What you’ll do
As Executive Manager, Crew Lead, you will:
- Own the end-to-end strategy, roadmap, performance and delivery outcomes for the Data Platforms & Resilience crew.
- Lead a multidisciplinary crew across product, technology, data, risk, operations, delivery and change to deliver customer, regulatory and business outcomes at scale.
- Shape the crew’s purpose, priorities and roadmap, ensuring alignment to Economic Crime strategy, enterprise priorities, regulatory expectations and measurable value.
- Translate strategic objectives into actionable quarterly plans, squad priorities, delivery milestones and performance measures.
- Partner closely with Product Owners, Crew Tech Leads, Technology, Risk, Operations, Data and business stakeholders to ensure strong alignment across delivery and run outcomes.
- Drive a clear, prioritised and outcome-focused backlog that balances strategic transformation, operational resilience, regulatory delivery, risk reduction and customer impact.
- Establish strong governance disciplines across planning, delivery, risk, issues, dependencies, decisions, controls and executive reporting.
- Use data, metrics and insights to monitor performance, identify risks and opportunities, and support timely executive decision-making.
- Manage cross-domain dependencies, competing priorities and delivery constraints, proactively resolving blockers and guiding teams through ambiguity.
- Build strong partnerships across Economic Crime, Technology, Risk, Data, Operations and enterprise stakeholders to ensure delivery is integrated and sustainable.
- Champion simplification, automation, resilience, modern product practices and continuous improvement across the crew.
- Build and lead a high-performing crew culture, with clear ownership, strong engagement, accountability, pace and a focus on safe delivery.
What you’ll bring
You are a senior leader who combines strategic thinking with practical execution. You can lead through complexity, connect business and technology, and bring clarity to ambiguous environments.
We’re particularly interested in:
- Significant experience leading large-scale product, technology, operational or transformation teams in complex environments.
- A strong track record delivering customer, regulatory, risk or business outcomes across multidisciplinary teams.
- Experience leading across product, technology, data, risk, operations, delivery and change functions.
- Strong commercial, strategic and operational judgement, with the ability to connect long-term vision to execution.
- Strong understanding of risk management, governance, controls and delivery assurance in a regulated environment.
- Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, including experience engaging senior and executive-level stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to manage ambiguity, competing priorities, cross-domain dependencies and complex trade-offs.
- Experience applying agile, product-led and customer-centric ways of working at scale.
- A data-led approach to performance, prioritisation and decision-making.
- A passion for developing people, building capability and creating high-performing teams.
- Experience in banking, financial services, risk, compliance, financial crime, data platforms, technology resilience, platform operations, data governance or technology-led transformation would be advantageous.
What success looks like
In the first few months, you will have built a clear understanding of the crew’s purpose, strategic outcomes, delivery commitments, technology landscape, risk profile, operational dependencies and stakeholder expectations.
You will have established an integrated view of crew priorities, performance, delivery, risk and dependencies, with clear governance and sequencing across squads and stakeholders.
Over time, success will be measured through delivery of customer, regulatory and business value, improved data and platform resilience, predictable and sustainable execution, stronger crew performance, effective risk management and increased confidence across Economic Crime, Technology, Risk and Operations.
