  • Lead implementation of mission-critical banking system projects (e.g., core banking migration, digital channel rollouts).

  • Apply agile, DevOps, or hybrid methodologies to ensure timely, cost-effective, and risk-mitigated project delivery.

  • Track KPIs and reporting for all system initiatives.

  • Build, lead, and retain a high-performing application support and core banking technology team.
