* Facilitate technical decision-making and escalation management for complex engineering challenges.

C. Agile Delivery & Execution Governance

* Drive Agile delivery practices, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and release planning.

* Track delivery metrics such as sprint predictability, velocity trends, throughput, cycle time, defect leakage, and release success rate.

* Establish governance mechanisms for milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, assumptions, and decisions.

* Maintain delivery dashboards, executive reports, RAID logs, action trackers, and management-level status updates.

* Ensure timely escalation of delivery risks with clear impact assessments and mitigation plans.





* Continuously improve delivery processes to increase engineering productivity and reduce avoidable delays.

D. Stakeholder & Program Management

* Act as the primary delivery interface between business stakeholders, product management, architects, engineering teams, infrastructure, security, and operations.

* Communicate delivery progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and corrective actions to senior leadership.

* Manage scope changes, competing priorities, delivery commitments, and stakeholder expectations.

* Coordinate cross-team dependencies and resolve conflicts affecting program outcomes.

* Drive alignment across business, technology, architecture, testing, DevOps, and production support teams.

* Ensure transparency, accountability, and timely decision-making across all stakeholders.

E. Resource, Budget & Vendor Management

* Plan and manage engineering capacity, resource allocation, utilisation, and delivery commitments.

* Develop delivery estimates, resource forecasts, and budget plans in coordination with program leadership.

* Identify skill gaps and work with leadership to address staffing, capability, and succession requirements.

* Manage vendor deliverables, contractual commitments, service levels, and quality expectations where applicable.

F. Quality, Risk & Production Readiness

* Ensure effective test strategies covering functional, integration, regression, performance, security, and resilience testing.

* Drive defect prevention, root-cause analysis, and corrective and preventive actions.

* Ensure operational readiness, deployment planning, rollback strategies, disaster recovery considerations, and support handover.

* Track production incidents, recurring defects, service stability, and post-release performance.

* Ensure compliance with enterprise security policies, audit requirements, data protection standards, and applicable banking regulations.

G. People Leadership & Continuous Improvement

* Lead, mentor, and develop engineering managers, technical leads, scrum masters, and delivery teams as applicable.

* Build a culture of ownership, collaboration, engineering discipline, and continuous improvement.

* Coach teams on estimation, dependency management, risk identification, and delivery predictability.

* Promote automation, reusable engineering practices, and standardised delivery frameworks.

* Drive lessons-learned reviews and implement improvements based on delivery performance and stakeholder feedback.

3. Required Technical Skills
