  • Leading and managing the Tower 'like a business' demonstrating strong financial control, effective people management and adherence to the required design and governance frameworks
  • Managing challenging stakeholders from all areas of the business, as well as balancing the competing priorities of other delivery Towers, to ensure that we prioritise overall value
  • Owning the supplier relationships throughout the delivery lifecycle, and driving value from these
  • Serving as an inspirational member of the Customer and Technology Leadership team, aligning everyone behind a common purpose
