• Deliver trusted, timely operational and regulatory insights with clarity on metrics, data lineage, and controls to enable effective decision-making and regulatory confidence.
• Drive technology modernisation initiatives focused on reducing manual intervention, integrating systems, and enhancing automation and observability across the reporting ecosystem.
• Lead efforts to embed self-service reporting, AI-enabled analytics, and natural language query capabilities while ensuring robust governance and security.
• Ensure operational resilience through proactive capacity planning, access control, change governance, and continuous control maturity improvements to reduce reporting risk.
• Foster strong partnerships with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure alignment on regulatory requirements, technology roadmaps, and risk mitigation.

This role is based in Bangalore, operating full-time within an office environment, leading global teams and collaborative innovation in regulatory reporting technologies.

Practical experience in developing and scaling self-service reporting and data visualisation tools is essential, including proficiency in leveraging AI-enabled analytics to enhance decision support and reporting accuracy.

Proven track record in formulating and executing technology strategies that foster innovation while ensuring operational resilience and rigorous control adherence is highly desirable.

Leadership capabilities must include managing complex technology platforms, driving regulatory readiness, maintaining robust control environments, and cultivating inclusive, high-performance team cultures.

Strong stakeholder engagement and portfolio management skills are critical, enabling the orchestration of diverse priorities and vendor relations to achieve sustainable technology delivery outcomes.

Driving continuous improvements in reporting accuracy, exception handling, auditability, and compliance will be key motivators, along with a passion for shaping future-ready platforms through data standardisation, control automation, advanced analytics, and ethical AI application.

You will be inspired by the opportunity to reduce operational risk and regulatory exposure by promoting a culture of continuous innovation and robust control discipline.

Qualifications
