As part of Technology, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking initiatives that shape our client’s digital landscape. Leverage cutting-edge technologies like Generative AI to increase productivity, streamline processes, and create seamless experiences for clients, agents, and employees. Your expertise fuels innovation, agility, and growth — driving the company's success.

As a Senior Release Train Engineer within Field Experience Technology, you will lead the delivery practice for our most complex FX capabilities, helping teams plan realistically, deliver predictably, and release with confidence. You will facilitate the planning cadence, keep work flowing, and remove the impediments that slow teams down — so engineering time stays on building products for our advisors and clients.

You will also set the bar for the Release Train Engineering community. Working across Delivery Operations, you will establish the standards for how we plan, release, and report, coach other Release Train Engineers, and represent delivery in leadership forums. You will own the rigor and data quality behind the delivery information leaders rely on.

This is a senior individual contributor role. Your influence will come from credibility and partnership rather than reporting lines — shaping roadmap tradeoffs with product counterparts, challenging direction constructively, and helping FX Technology move from coordinating execution to informing strategy.

• You will uphold change management standards across normal, standard, and emergency changes, so delivery meets the governance requirements of a regulated environment, and lead the exception and emergency paths when escalation is required.
• You will own the accuracy of delivery data and reporting for your capabilities, so that status, progress, and capacity information is reliable without teams rebuilding it by hand each cycle.
• You will partner with FX Capability Leads, product partners, and Planning Operations to connect demand and capacity — helping ensure incoming work is planned rather than absorbed mid-cycle, and influence roadmap tradeoffs and sequencing with senior product and technology leaders.
• You will define and steward consistent delivery practice across FX Technology, adopting and adapting shared Agile practices rather than building capability-specific approaches.
• You will coach teams and other Release Train Engineers on Agile ways of working and support continuous improvement.
• You will represent delivery in leadership forums, giving senior stakeholders a clear, risk-aware view of portfolio delivery health and challenging…
