City, London
Head of Infrastructure Portfolio (Director Level) Banking & Financial Services London (Hybrid) Up to 160,000 + Bonus + Benefits Are you a senior portfolio leader ready to take ownership of a major technology infrastructure change agenda within a global financial institution? This is a rare opportunity to lead the Infrastructure Portfolio for a leading global banking group, directing a multi-million-pound book of investment and change projects, managing a team of consultants and contractors, and reporting directly into senior technology and Head Office stakeholders. You'll have real authority to shape delivery, influence executive decision-making, and drive the "do-ability" of a complex, high-profile portfolio. If you thrive on governance, stakeholder engagement, and getting large-scale change over the line - this is your next move. What you'll be doing Plan, direct and govern the Infrastructure investment portfolio end-to-end, owning the delivery roadmap, critical path and prioritisation decisions across projects and programmes. Manage delegated authority from senior Head Office stakeholders (via the CIO), driving delivery on behalf of the Accountable Executive and reporting into EMEA ExCo, Delivery Forum and portfolio committees. Own portfolio governance: baseline control (budget, scope, benefits, timeline), change approval, risk/issue management, business case sign-off and project closure. Lead, recruit and develop a team of circa 13 consultants/contractors, plus matrix-manage wider project delivery staff. Manage investment budgets, cost forecasting and financial control, ensuring accurate, golden-source reporting to stakeholders and oversight committees. Set and maintain quality standards across all portfolio artefacts, ensuring compliance with project delivery policy, controls (including SOX) and regulatory requirements. Manage vendors, consultants and contractors, and work with procurement to ensure cost-effective, well-governed delivery. Provide oversight across major infrastructure and technology transformation programmes - spanning data centre migration, network transformation, cloud migration, and end user compute (EUC) modernisation such as VDI, Microsoft 365 (M365) deployment, Windows/OS migration, endpoint and device deployment, and email/Exchange upgrades. What you'll bring 10-15+ years' proven track record delivering programmes and projects within financial services, financial institutions or comparable large-scale technology/infrastructure organisations, to time and budget. Genuine portfolio management experience - not just programme or project delivery - including prioritisation and trade-off, resource allocation, roadmap and dependency management across a large, complex book of work.
