Director of Transformation

Focus: Capital Markets/Commodities Trading Technology

Location: Switzerland/DACH region (flexible for the right profile)

Engagement: Permanent or Contract

We're partnered with a global technology and business consultancy that delivers large-scale Murex transformation programmes for major trading and commodities clients across Switzerland and the wider DACH region. As their client demand accelerates, they're looking to build relationships with senior transformation leaders who can own these programmes end to end, from strategic architecture through to executive delivery, across their commodities and capital markets client base.

We're speaking with Directors of Transformation, Heads of Murex Delivery, and senior Programme Leads who want visibility of what's coming to market through this consultancy across Q4 and into next year, and who may also have insight into where their own organisations are heading next.

• 15-20+ years in Capital Markets, Treasury or Commodities Technology, with sustained Murex leadership at Director/Head of level

• Comfortable operating at board/executive level, not just programme level
• Strong commercial acumen, comfortable with P&L, vendor and contractual ownership
