This role is a fantastic opportunity to help build, shape and scale the Technology Process & Governance function.
Duties

Manage cross-functional process touchpoints (e.g., Risk, Compliance, Data Privacy, Procurement/TPRM and Finance as applicable) and ensure Technology processes align with enterprise requirements and policies.
Facilitate governance and stakeholder forums to agree standards, drive adoption, manage exceptions and ensure consistency across regions/teams and with the parent company.
Define and communicate how Technology services are delivered and how colleagues engage with Technology (service catalogue, request paths, escalation routes, ownership and key service information).
Create clear, executive-ready materials (process packs, impacts, roadmaps and decision papers) and present recommendations to senior stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
Ensure process alignment with the parent company, recommending local tailoring where required while maintaining control and auditability.
Embed risk, compliance and control requirements into process design (including evidence, approvals, segregation of duties, and data handling), working closely with 2nd line functions.
Identify and assess automation opportunities (workflow, tooling, standardisation), facilitating workshops to define requirements, benefits, risks and implementation approach.
Use data and analysis (including AI-enabled techniques where appropriate) to quantify process performance, identify trends, pinpoint root causes and prioritise improvements.
Ensure any use of AI/automation within Technology processes follows governance (tool/model approval where applicable), data classification, confidentiality and appropriate human oversight.
Represent Technology process requirements in company-wide initiatives, workshops and forums, influencing outcomes and driving adoption of agreed standards.
Conduct periodic health checks/audits of process documentation and improvement governance, tracking actions through to completion and evidencing compliance to standards.
Lead delivery of process improvement initiatives (including coordinating internal resources and 3rd parties), working with minimal supervision and escalating risks/issues appropriately.
