Key Responsibilities:
- Solution Formulation and Technical Due Diligence
- Lead discovery and solutioning workshops with Security Architecture, Security Engineering, infrastructure, application, operations, risk, procurement and vendor teams.
- Translate business and security objectives into clear functional, technical, operational, integration, resilience and non-functional requirements.
- Understand and critically review proposed solution architectures, high-level and detailed designs, data flows, interfaces, deployment models, security controls, operational dependencies and support arrangements.
- Constructively challenge design assumptions, vendor recommendations, scope boundaries and implementation approaches to ensure alternatives, trade-offs, constraints and residual risks are adequately considered and documented.
- Ensure solution proposals address scalability, availability, resilience, security, integration, performance, supportability, maintainability, logging, monitoring, access control, data protection and regulatory requirements, where applicable.
- Drive technical decisions to closure by securing clear rationale, accountable owners, supporting evidence and required architecture or security endorsements.
- Identify opportunities to reuse or extend existing Bank capabilities before introducing new technology, and highlight potential duplication, integration complexity or technology concentration risks.
- Plan and govern feasibility studies, proof-of-concept activities and technical evaluations, with measurable success criteria and documented recommendations.
- Project Formulation, Budgeting and Procurement
- Facilitate workshops to gather, analyse, harmonise and document stakeholder requirements.
- Develop and maintain project scope, delivery approach, assumptions, dependencies, resource requirements, implementation roadmap and Level 0 cost estimates.
- Prepare business requirements, RFI, RFP or RFQ specifications, evaluation criteria, scoring methodology, proof-of-concept requirements and vendor presentation expectations.
- Lead the end-to-end sourcing process with relevant procurement teams, ensuring adherence to the Bank’s sourcing standards, governance requirements and audit traceability.
- Coordinate technical, functional and commercial evaluations, clarify material differences between proposals, and prepare recommendations for the relevant approval forums.
- Support commercial negotiations and coordinate the finalisation of statements of work, deliverables, acceptance criteria, service levels, contractual obligations, financial terms and change-control provisions.
- Prepare submissions and supporting materials for project funding and governance approvals.
- End-to-End Project Delivery
- Own project delivery from initiation through design, build, testing, deployment, operationalisation and closure.
- Establish and maintain integrated project plans covering technical delivery, infrastructure readiness, integration, data onboarding, testing, security assurance, change management, operational readiness and handover.
- Ensure project milestones, dependencies, decisions, risks, issues, actions and deliverables are actively managed and driven to closure.
- Anticipate delivery constraints and escalate material risks early, with clear impact assessments, mitigation actions, owners and target dates.
- Hold vendors and delivery teams accountable for the completeness, quality and timeliness of contracted deliverables.
- Ensure testing includes relevant functional, integration, performance, resilience, security, operational and user-acceptance considerations, with defects and exceptions formally tracked.
- Drive operational readiness, including procedures, support model, monitoring, service levels, training, knowledge transfer, access arrangements, business continuity and handover to steady-state operations.
- Plan and execute stakeholder engagement, communications and change-management activities required for successful adoption.
- Governance, Financial Management and Reporting
- Apply the Bank’s project delivery methodology and relevant technology, architecture, security, procurement, risk and change-governance requirements.
- Prepare accurate, concise and decision-oriented materials for Project Steering Committees and other governance forums.
- Maintain high standards of quality, accuracy and consistency across project documents, logs, trackers, plans and reporting materials.
- Manage project financials, including approved budget, commitments, forecasts, planned versus actual expenditure and anticipated variances.
- Act as the central coordination point across business, security, technology, operations, vendors and control functions.
- Conduct process-assurance or peer reviews of other GIS projects when required, and recommend improvements to delivery practices.
