Payments Lead – Banking - London
An established mid-tier UK bank is hiring an experienced Payments Lead to own the Payments portfolio, report directly to the Delivery Director and take ownership of the delivery of several high-priority payments initiatives across the bank.
This is a senior delivery role for someone who can operate confidently across the full lifecycle of change — from early-stage shaping through to embedding new capability into the business — while keeping a portfolio of interlinked projects moving in the same direction.
The role includes:
- Owning end-to-end delivery for the Payments Portfolio, partnering closely with the wider programme leadership and delivery team across every stage of the project lifecycle
- Shaping new initiatives from the outset — early scoping, planning, and initial business case work — through to their entry into the pipeline and prioritisation against other demand
- Mobilising approved work: defining solutions, scope, and content, and pulling in the right resources to give each initiative a genuine shot at delivering strong value
- Managing the web of dependencies across linked projects and programmes so each one hits its own commitments while still moving the broader portfolio forward
- Working with business stakeholders to land agreement on realistic timelines and budgets
- Supporting the business case process — helping quantify costs and benefits during the early and design stages
- Ensuring new capability transitions smoothly into live operation
