The Bank is seeking to appoint a dynamic and proactive Strategic Partner, with significant experience of managing complex solution delivery (design, build, migrate, test) and systems integration programmes leading to the delivery of transformative business change, to support its vision for modernising and simplifying how it collaborates both internally and externally.
