Role Overview
You’ll be joining our Enterprise Systems Engineering team as a Senior Technical Lead for Enterprise Analytics Platforms, with end-to-end accountability for our SAS estate and input to the strategic direction of analytics tooling across the organisation.
Our platforms underpin critical regulatory, risk, finance, and decisioning workloads across the bank. We are evolving from traditional SAS Grid environments into a modern, multi-platform analytics landscape, integrating SAS with cloud-native services, data platforms, and emerging tooling.
Our vision is to build high-performing, product-aligned platform teams that own their services end-to-end — from infrastructure and integrations through to performance, resilience, and user experience. You’ll play a key role in shaping this transformation and influencing how analytics is delivered across the business.
