Senior Vice President, Delivery Practitioner
We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President, Delivery Practitioner to join our team. This role is located in London or Manchester.
Role Purpose
The Senior Vice President, Delivery Practitioner is a senior transformation leader responsible for shaping and advancing BNY’s most complex, ambiguous and commercially significant priorities. The role goes beyond programme execution: it defines problems, creates strategic clarity, develops commercially and operationally viable solutions, and mobilizes cross-functional teams to deliver measurable client and enterprise outcomes. The successful candidate will combine the problem-solving rigour with strong commercial judgement, product and service development awareness, and disciplined execution in a complex, regulated institution.
In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:
-
Lead the framing of enterprise-level challenges, converting broad questions and competing perspectives into a clear problem statement, strategic choices, decision criteria and executable path forward.
-
Own complex initiatives from early concept through validation, design, mobilization and implementation, ensuring the work remains anchored to client value, commercial and market driven outcomes and BNY’s strategic priorities.
-
Provide senior commercial judgement across topics such as proposition development, solution incubation, pricing, contracting, revenue opportunity, cost-to-serve, operating model design, scalability and route to market.
-
Identify, test and nourish high-potential ideas, bringing together client insight, market context, internal capabilities and economics to help determine which ideas should progress and how they can become built client solutions.
-
Direct rigorous qualitative and quantitative analysis, ensuring conclusions are evidence-based and translated into clear recommendations, business cases, roadmaps and measurable success outcomes.
-
Create and communicate compelling executive narratives for senior leadership, governance forums and cross-business stakeholders, making complex issues understandable and decision-ready.
-
Orchestrate diverse teams across business, product, operations, technology, finance, risk and legal, aligning objectives, accountabilities, dependencies and incentives without relying on formal authority.
-
Design fit-for-purpose governance and delivery approaches that provide pace, transparency and control while avoiding unnecessary process or programme bureaucracy.
