Lead Technology Business Management (TBM) Strategy & Operating Model (VP) Salary: Up to £100,000 + Benefits + Bonus Location: London - Hybrid (3 days per week in office) Deerfoot Recruitment has been a trusted talent partner to this prestigious global banking institution for over 15 years. We have been specifically commissioned to identify a high-calibre TBM Lead (VP) to spearhead a critical transformation within their technology function. This is a rare opportunity to move beyond technical tool administration and step into a strategic leadership position. Our client is looking for a TBM practitioner who can design, build, and roll out a comprehensive TBM Operating Model from the ground up to support a major, multi-year business transformation. The Impact You'll Make Operating Model Architect: Take immediate ownership of designing the TBM Operating Model. This involves defining the strategy, securing support from the CIO and CFO, and overseeing the staged rollout. Strategic Leadership: Act as the primary TBM thought leader for the bank, providing a clear vision for how cost transparency and service mapping empower data-driven investment decisions. Executive Influence: Serve as the "bridge" between Technology and Finance, articulating complex financial and technical trade-offs to senior leadership and business line heads. Team & Resource Governance: Mentor a local junior analyst and provide strategic direction to an outsourced team responsible for day-to-day tool operations. Business-Facing Analysis: Shift the focus from simple infrastructure unit costs to sophisticated, business-application-facing service models (Run, Grow, and Transform). What You'll Bring Proven Model Design: A track record of successfully designing and implementing TBM operating models within large-scale, complex enterprises. Banking Pedigree: Significant experience within a regulated banking environment (ideally in a permanent capacity) is highly desirable. TBM Thought Leadership: Deep expertise in TBM Council standards and the FinOps Foundation framework; you are an active participant in these professional communities. Strategic Breadth: The ability to balance technical infrastructure knowledge with financial FP&A fluency without being overly focused on one side of the spectrum. Tool Agnostic Mindset: While proficiency in TBM tools (eg Apptio, Magic Orange) is assumed, you view these platforms as enablers rather than the core of your expertise. The Mandate Our client is at a pivotal moment in their transformation journey. They require a visionary leader-someone looking to own a roadmap and build a world-class strategy. If you are a TBM specialist who excels at executive communication and operating model design, this is the most strategic mandate currently available in the London market. To Apply: As a long-standing partner to this bank, Deerfoot Recruitment has a deep understanding of the team culture and the specific expectations of the hiring manager. Please submit your CV for a confidential discussion. Deerfoot Recruitment Solutions Ltd is a leading independent tech recruitment consultancy in the UK. For every CV sent to clients, we donate £1 to The Born Free Foundation. We are a Climate Action Workforce in partnership with Ecologi.
