£80,000 – £90,000 + benefits

You’ll be joining a well-established investment banking environment that’s pushing hard on digital transformation, with a particular focus on AI adoption and improving how the business operates day-to-day… not just at a strategy level, but in real workflows, real teams, real outcomes.They’ve built a solid digital function that’s now scaling. More demand. More use cases. More pressure to get real value from technology.

The setup

Digital acts as a central function supporting the wider business.

In this role you’ll be at the heart of it. They need you to bring structure, clarity, and momentum across a growing portfolio that includes:

Software and internal platforms

Data products, reporting, dashboards

Low-code and automation tools

A fast-growing pipeline of AI-driven initiatives

Two previously separate areas (Change and Insights) are being brought together into one Transformation team which you will lead (4 people in total)

What you’ll be doing

• Leading a small Digital Transformation team day-to-day
• Owning and prioritising the pipeline across multiple departments
• Coordinating delivery across a mix of products, platforms, and initiatives
• Working directly with senior stakeholders to identify where tech can genuinely move the needle
• Embedding stronger product management practices across all solution types
• Driving adoption of tools like Power BI and low-code platforms
• Leading the AI adoption agenda across the business
• Putting the right governance in place alongside Risk and Compliance
• Coaching teams to become more capable and self-sufficient with technology
• Stepping in to unblock cross-functional initiatives when things stall

What success looks like

• Teams are focused on the right problems
• Delivery is coordinated, visible, and actually lands
• Product thinking becomes standard across the business
• AI starts to change how teams operate in a meaningful way
• Departments take more ownership of their own tech and data
• Things move. No bottlenecks. No confusion over ownership

Experience leading or managing a small team

Someone who naturally focuses on outcomes over activity

Comfortable working across both business and technical stakeholders

Able to influence without formal authority

Confident operating in a fairly open, flat environment

You’ll probably already be using AI tools in your day-to-day work and thinking about how they can be applied in a business setting.

Exposure to product management frameworks

Hands-on with Power BI, low-code tools, or automation
