Director, Senior Regulatory Programme Lead

About the role:

You will lead the delivery of complex, high-profile regulatory and risk programmes across business lines (e.g. CIB, Treasury, Compliance) in a global banking environment. Working as a senior individual contributor, you'll own multiple interdependent streams, set governance, partner directly with stakeholders (business, risk, compliance, operations), and ensure programmes deliver on regulatory and strategic targets.

Key responsibilities:

• Architect and drive execution of regulatory change & remediation initiatives (e.g. large-scale regulatory programmes, policy change, conduct & control enhancements)
• Own cross-functional governance, planning, reporting, escalation, and stakeholder alignment
• Lead workstreams, identify dependencies, manage risks, resources, issue resolution
• Translate regulatory requirements into solution designs in partnership with business and technical teams
• Deliver programme outcomes with clarity on metrics, track record, and lessons learned
• Act as the key liaison with internal audit, compliance, risk, and business executives
• Maintain hands-on involvement in delivery (individual contributor mindset) rather than hierarchal management

Requirements / Candidate profile:

• 10+ years of programme / project delivery experience in financial services, with a focus on regulatory / risk / compliance change
• Proven track record executing multi-stream programmes with senior stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments and influencing without formal authority
• Strong governance / delivery / communication skills
• Experience with Agile, PMO / programme frameworks, and structuring large regulatory initiatives
• Exposure to global/regional delivery, multiple jurisdictions
• Certifications such as PMP, Agile, or Risk / Regulatory credentials preferred

What makes this role compelling:

This is a role of strategic influence, not pure oversight. You'll be instrumental in ensuring regulatory resilience and risk compliance in a dynamic, evolving landscape. Few roles offer this level of exposure combined with hands-on responsibility.
