Architecture, Big Data, Delivery Execution

In an era defined by data-driven transformation and applied AI, global enterprises require partners who can do more than maintain legacy infrastructure they need visionary engineering leaders to design, scale, and operationalize the next generation of AI-enabled platforms, intelligence ecosystems, and modern data architectures.

As a Technical Programme Manager (Data & Intelligence Engineering) based in the UK, you will serve as the senior delivery authority accountable for the end-to-end execution of multi-million-pound data transformation initiatives across the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sectors.

You will operate within Global Logic’s high-impact leadership model, working in a strategic triad alongside a Client Partner/Sales Lead (commercial growth) and supported by Offshore Delivery Directors (operational execution). You are the primary delivery anchor ensuring technical integrity, operational scale, and commercial profitability.

You will serve as the trusted, technical "face of delivery" to C-suite client executives (CDOs, CIOs, CTOs). You will bridge the gap between complex enterprise data strategies - spanning Cloud Migrations, Data Mesh architectures, Real-time Analytics, and Generative AI/MLOps pipelines - and precise execution across globally distributed engineering pods of 100+ people.

By pairing technical depth with executive gravitas, you will de-risk platform modernisation, ensure strict financial and regulatory governance (e.g., BCBS 239, DORA), drive referenceable client outcomes, and unlock measurable business value through intelligence engineering.
