• Ensure adherence to technology, security, privacy, resiliency, data governance, architecture, and regulatory control standards, including confirming that vendor commitments are understood, tracked, evidenced, and met.
• Maintain clear alignment with FCRM leadership, technology partners, and vendor stakeholders on roadmap priorities, delivery sequencing, dependencies, and implementation schedules.

• Operate as a strategic technology leader who can translate financial crimes risk objectives into executable technology roadmaps and delivery outcomes.
