• Manage RAID processes, governance forums and stakeholder engagement across advisory and servicing transformation programmes, embedding responsible AI-enabled ways of working where they deliver measurable value.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across technology, operations and front-office stakeholders, using AI to streamline collaboration, reporting and delivery activities while maintaining appropriate human review.
• Ensure delivery within agreed scope, timelines and quality standards across Agile or hybrid environments, identifying opportunities for AI-enabled automation and continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For

• Demonstrable experience delivering transformation programmes within Wealth & Asset Management.
• Experience overseeing platform implementation or post-integration delivery within wealth management environments.
• Strong understanding of advisory, servicing and mass affluent client models.
• Proven stakeholder management experience across business and technology teams.
• Experience working within Agile or hybrid delivery frameworks, with a mindset of continuous learning and curiosity for adopting AI-enabled ways of working to improve productivity, quality and client outcomes while applying responsible AI principles.

• Direct experience with Avaloq, Temenos, Aladdin or comparable wealth platforms.
• Experience supporting post-merger integration or large-scale operating model transformation.
• Exposure to FCA regulatory requirements within wealth management.
• Professional qualifications such as PRINCE2 or PMP.
