Are you ready to lead the next chapter of digital banking?

I'm working with a highly respected UK Private bank that's on a major digital transformation journey and they're hiring a Head of Digital Platforms to own the strategy, delivery, and evolution of their online, mobile, and customer-facing digital platforms.

This is a true technical change leadership role: shaping the digital vision, modernising legacy technology, and delivering secure, scalable platforms that genuinely improve how customers interact with their bank. You'll have real influence across strategy, delivery, and culture.

What you'll be doing

• Define and deliver the bank's digital vision, aligned to its growth strategy
• Lead the transformation of core digital platforms (API-first, cloud, DevOps, CI/CD)
• Drive innovation, resilience, and measurable customer value
• Build and inspire a high-performing multidisciplinary digital team

What you'll bring

• Proven experience delivering large-scale digital transformation in financial services
• Strong technical and architectural grounding in digital platforms
• Gravitas to influence senior stakeholders, including C-suite and board
• A balance of strategic vision and hands-on delivery

This is a rare chance to shape the future of digital banking within a purpose-led, values-driven organisation that's serious about transformation.
