£66,000 - £91,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Sponsorship Available

We're working with a global financial services leader to find a Head of Data Deployment & Risk Management - a strategic VP-level role that blends service design, change governance, and risk management across a high-volume data platform environment.

What You'll Be Doing:

* Define and implement standards for how engineering teams deliver change across the data platform.

* Design and embed a service transition framework to manage high volumes of change.
* Oversee change release and risk management, ensuring platform integrity and compliance.
* Collaborate with internal customers to gather feedback and continuously improve service delivery.
* Manage a growing team (starting with 2 experienced VPs, scaling to 8-10 over time).

What You'll Bring:

* Strong experience in Change & Risk Management within Financial Services.
* Proven ability to design service frameworks in complex, high-change environments.
* Knowledge of AWS cloud environments (certification preferred).
* Familiarity with Scaled Agile or similar delivery frameworks.
* A strategic mindset with a customer-first approach to internal service delivery.

Bonus Points For:

* Experience with DevOps, CI/CD, or test automation strategy.
* Risk Management qualifications.
* A background in service design or transition planning.

Why This Role?

* You'll shape how a major financial institution delivers change at scale.
* You'll work closely with senior leadership and influence enterprise-wide standards.
* You'll be measured by real impact - internal customer satisfaction and platform safety.
* You'll have the autonomy to build and lead a high-performing team.
