• Communicate effectively with senior stakeholders, providing regular updates on progress, risks, and mitigations.
• Ensure full compliance with Coutts’ security, resilience, and operational governance standards.
• Oversee migration testing, validation, and post-move reviews to ensure successful outcomes.
• Contribute to defining long-term infrastructure strategy and cloud migration roadmap.

About You

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a similar role, with proven track record of delivering data centre migration or infrastructure transformation projects within complex enterprise environments.
• Strong understanding of infrastructure technologies including servers, storage, networks, and virtualization.
• Experience managing hybrid infrastructure environments (on-prem, private, and public cloud).
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience influencing senior business and technical leaders.
• Proficiency in project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid).
• Strong vendor management and commercial awareness.
• Exceptional problem-solving, risk management, and communication skills.
