Experience in process reengineering (Lean/Six Sigma) and agile delivery; comfortable leading transformation programs end‑to‑end. Exceptional stakeholder management and executive communication skills; adept at influencing across Product, Technology, Risk, and front‑office. Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or professional certifications (e.g., PMP, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, data/AI certifications) are a plus. Payments domain: real‑time payments (e.g., FAST/NPP), high‑value/RTGS, ACH, SWIFT cross‑border, ISO 20022, correspondent banking operations. AI/Automation: familiarity with AI/ML operations use cases, RPA/orchestration platforms, NLP for email/case routing, predictive analytics for capacity/incident prevention.
