- Work across multiple teams with different priorities and delivery styles.
- Build strong relationships and manage challenging conversations and conflict constructively.
- Confidently challenge assumptions, priorities and timelines when required.
- Work with senior stakeholders to resolve issues and keep delivery moving.
- Strong Delivery Manager experience within banking or financial services.
- Payments experience is essential, ideally within cards, transaction switching or payment processing.
