Job Summary

Champion transformation across the Retail & Consumer Banking Division blending strategic insight with COO-level operational excellence to shape an agile, cohesive and future-ready roadmap. This role orchestrates cross-functional initiatives that modernize operating models, enhance customer experience, and resolve complex challenges across products, channels, systems, and customer journeys, leveraging latest technologies like AI and performance enhancing tools and frameworks. Beyond planned strategic programs, this role serves as the “go-to” problem solver for mission-critical issues—stepping in when challenges are complex, progress is stalled, there is lack of clarity, lack of ownership and when solutions require rapid cross-departmental coordination. By harnessing data-driven insight, operational acumen, and cross-functional leadership, the role ensures projects and interventions are executed with speed, precision, and measurable impact.

  • Data-Driven Decision Making

  • Business–Technology Alignment

  • Ensure system enhancements, channel upgrades, and product innovations are deployed seamlessly across the network.
  • Stakeholder & Change Management

  • Communicate progress, risks, and outcomes with clarity and precision to senior stakeholders.
  • Foster a transformation mindset and change-ready culture across the Retail Banking division.

  • Strategic & Operational Leadership - Proven ability to set vision, influence stakeholders, and deliver transformation at scale.
