Formulate technical options and remediation paths for senior leadership to de-risk delivery timelines for the strategic initiatives.

Stakeholder Engagement and Collaboration

Work closely with industry working groups and represent the organization in relevant ISO 20022 forums with a focus on the primed payment system.

Mentorship and Peer Review Excellence

Drive accountability and technical quality within the COE by establishing rigorous self-QA and peer-review protocols for all message mapping and technical drafts.
Provide continuous technical mentorship and technical coaching to junior staff to uplift overall team capability and eliminate single points of failure.

Monitor evolving industry trends and regulatory changes related to ISO 20022 and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
