Putting people first, every day
BDO is a firm built on a foundation of positive relationships with our people and our clients. Each day, our professionals provide exceptional service, helping clients with advice and insight they can trust. In turn, we offer an award-winning environment that fosters a people-first culture with a high priority on your personal and professional growth.
Your Opportunity
We are looking for a Manager, who combines Cloud Platform technical knowledge, experience in building solutions in banking and a demonstrated ability to lead programs. The ideal candidate can move comfortably between executive strategy, technical architecture, and commercial opportunity development across cloud, data, AI, security, and application modernization.
This is neither a delivery-only architecture role nor a pure sales position. The successful candidate will use their banking knowledge and technical credibility to shape executable solutions and expand initial engagements into broader programs and long-term relationships.
Lead strategic and technical discussions across cloud transformation, platform engineering, data, AI, security, and application modernization
Translate banking business priorities, regulatory requirements, and operational challenges into credible technology strategies and executable programs
Provide architecture-level guidance across Azure, AWS, and GCP, including hybrid- and multi-cloud environments
Shape engagements from discovery and solution design through proposal development, mobilization, and delivery
Develop account growth strategies in partnership with sales, delivery, and practice leadership
Lead client workshops, architecture reviews, proposals, roadmaps, and strategic presentations
Remain actively involved in delivery to maintain client trust, support successful outcomes, and identify emerging priorities
Mentor architects, consultants, and engineers working within banking accounts
How do we define success for your role?
You demonstrate BDO's core values through all aspect of your work: Integrity, Respect and Collaboration
You understand the organization’s structure, priorities, and people practices
Internal stakeholders describe you as positive, professional, and consistent in delivering high-quality work
You identify, recommend, and are focused on effective service delivery to your clients
You share in an inclusive and engaging work environment that develops, retains & attracts talent
You actively participate in the adoption of digital tools and strategies to drive an innovative workplace
You grow your expertise through learning and professional development
Your Experience and Education:
Deep banking experience, including technology governance, risk, compliance, and investment decision-making
Experience in one or more banking domains, such as retail, commercial, payments, lending, wealth, capital markets, risk, or finance
Broad understanding of cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity, integration, and application modernization
Demonstrated ability to assess complex technology environments and provide clear, practical direction
Strong executive presence and the ability to communicate credibly with both senior executives and technical teams
Although this is not primarily a hands-on engineering role, candidates must have the technical depth to assess, shape, and challenge enterprise cloud solutions within large banking environments:
Cloud Platform Architect-level knowledge of Azure, AWS, and/or GCP, including hybrid- and multi-cloud environments
Platform engineering and shared cloud services designed for use across multiple teams and applications
Cloud governance, landing zones, identity, networking, security, resilience, and observability
Working knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, APIs, and modern application delivery practices
Ability to evaluate technical approaches, identify risks, and explain recommendations to architects, engineers, and executives
Preferred:
5+ years of progressive experience across banking technology, cloud architecture, consulting, or technology leadership
Experience working directly for a bank, advising banking clients, or both
Previous experience in consulting, professional services, systems integration, or a technology-provider environment
Demonstrated responsibility for account growth, business development, or market development
Experience leading major cloud transformation, platform modernization, or enterprise technology programs
Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and influencing without direct authority
The expected range of compensation for this role is $115,000 - $165,000 annually.
