The posting

Senior Product Owner and Implementation Director – Enterprise Limit Management System (Senior Consultant)

Location: UAE

Contract: 1–2 Year Contract

Role Purpose

The Senior Product Owner and Implementation Director – Enterprise Limit Management System is accountable for the end-to-end conceptualization, design, build, and enterprise rollout of the Bank’s in-house Enterprise Limit Management System (ELMS), while providing program-level delivery leadership aligned to the Bank-wide Transformation Office practices.

The incumbent will lead the initiative from vision through implementation and stabilization, ensuring regulatory compliance, architectural soundness, operational resilience, and enterprise scalability, while managing scope, budget, governance, end to end delivery, vendors, and cross‑borders execution.
