VP – Operations Digital Transformation & AI Delivery
London | £100,000 – £110,000 + Bonus | Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office
We are recruiting a Vice President – Operations Digital Transformation & AI Delivery to join a newly established transformation function within a major global financial services organisation.
This is a senior technology-enabled transformation and delivery leadership role, responsible for managing a small team delivering automation, digitalisation and AI-enabled solutions across a complex Operations environment.
This is not an AI Engineer position, nor is it purely a traditional Programme Manager role. We are looking for someone who understands technology and automation at a meaningful level, but who has progressed into team leadership, programme delivery and senior stakeholder management.
An ideal candidate may have started their career within development, business analysis, automation or technical transformation, before moving into management.
The opportunity
The organisation is undertaking a significant programme to modernise its Operations environment.
Across the business there are numerous manual processes, spreadsheets, legacy databases and workflows which have evolved over many years. The transformation team is responsible for identifying where these processes can be redesigned, automated or replaced using modern technology.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The focus is not simply implementing AI for the sake of AI. It is about fixing underlying operational processes and using automation, digital tools and emerging AI capabilities to improve productivity, controls, service quality and operational resilience.

What you'll be responsible for

- Leading and developing a small team of transformation, automation and technical delivery specialists
