- Phased customer migrations requiring near‑zero downtime
- Risk, compliance, PCI DSS alignment, and operational readiness
What you bring
- 10+ years delivering large‑scale, mission‑critical technology programmes
- Experience in payments, banking, cloud migration, or real‑time transaction systems
- Strong stakeholder influence across technical and executive audiences
