My Banking client is seeking an experienced Technical Platform Lead to oversee the end-to-end design, integration, and optimization of a platform within a corporate/commercial banking environment. This role goes beyond CRM and requires expertise in aligning the wider technical landscape to create seamless, efficient systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop a comprehensive technology roadmap in collaboration with the Programme Manager.
  • Optimize CRM systems (MS Dynamics preferred) and propose lightweight API-based integrations (e.g., React) to streamline processes.
  • Design and integrate solutions across CRM, data analytics (AWS, Snowflake), and ancillary systems to automate manual tasks and enhance relationship manager tools.
  • Lead the architecture and technical strategy for 8-10 interconnected systems, ensuring robust design and integration.
  • Drive automation and digitization efforts to improve efficiency, saving RMs up to two days per week on manual tasks.
  • Influence key stakeholders and align solutions with measurable OKRs in an Agile environment.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Proven experience leading platforms or systems in commercial banking.
  • Expertise in CRM (Dynamics, Salesforce, or equivalent), system integration, APIs, and technical architecture.
  • Strong understanding of data tools (AWS, Snowflake) and front-end solutions (React).
  • Ability to propose innovative solutions, including Gen AI capabilities, to enhance data and analytics functionality.
  • Skilled in influencing and aligning cross-functional teams.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the technical future of a high-impact platform and deliver transformative results for the business.
