A leading international bank is building out a brand-new payments audit portfolio, and is looking for a senior technology leader to own it end to end. This is a rare chance to step out of delivery and into assurance while staying close to the technology you know best — shaping how one of the world's major banks assures its payments estate, with a transparent path to Managing Director for the right person.
It suits a payments technology practitioner — someone who has built or run payments platforms and now wants the broader remit, the seniority and the visibility that come with owning a portfolio. Domain depth leads here; the assurance craft can be learned.

Some of the key responsibilities will include:
Own

end-to-end audit coverage for payments technology

from day one, shaping the portfolio as it grows.
Bring

real technical challenge and an independent voice

to how payments technology risk is understood across the bank.
Report on

payments technology controls and risk themes

to senior stakeholders, translating technical risk into decisions.
Build and lead your own team ,



and stand as a senior leader and mentor across the wider floor.
Stay ahead of

emerging risk

across payments modernisation and, increasingly, digital assets.

To be eligible for this role you will require:
15+ years

implementing or managing

payments technology

— genuinely hands-on, not oversight only.
An appetite to move into a

risk and control environment

(first, second or third line all welcome).
Depth in

one or more payment types

— real-time, cross-border or market payments — with broad understanding across the rest.
Proven

senior director-level leadership

— an established leader ready to build, not a first-time director.
Exposure to

digital assets

a genuine advantage as the business expands.
