You will become the team and project's 'go to' person for anything that requires additional technical expertise and work very closely with the technology vendor and Senior Leader, Product Originations towards a successful go-live implementation.

This role is offered as 12 months Fixed Term Contract with potential extension or permanency.

Responsibilities

  • Solution Architecture: collaborate with architects and other stakeholders to design scalable, reliable, and secure customer platform solutions that meet business requirements, strategic goals and security and compliance requirements.
  • Software Development: lead and actively participate in the development, implementation, and enhancement of customer platform applications, adhering to coding best practices, quality standards, and industry trends.

About you

You will bring strong knowledge in personal lending process and demonstrated experience in the successful delivery of technology projects for financial institutions. You will have experience creating and supporting technology that delights both customers and the employees supporting those customers.

Although technical consultancy is part of this role, this is not the job for a consultant. You will be 'on the tools' and helping to deliver an exciting, new personal lending platform for People First Bank with your team.

Knowledge and Experience
  • Extensive experience in a senior role for IT operations, preferably in a Technical Lead capacity.
  • Experience leading people (internal staff and vendor partners) in software development or system configuration efforts. Experience handling incoming and outgoing escalations where required.
  • Experience working closely with others to supplement technical knowledge across the team.
  • A thorough understanding on personal lending processes in a financial institution is a must.
  • Expertise in managing incidents, problem and change management using ITIL standards.
  • Experience in configuring or managing a Loan Origination System (LOS) and how the end-to-end personal lending process can be modelled using technology.
  • Experience with third-party integrations to supplement the lending process (e.g., credit bureau interactions, comprehensive decisioning, PPSR etc.).
  • Experience with solution design, software development and integration projects.
Desirable (Not necessary but will be highly regarded)
  • Technical familiarity with current and/or future-state (preferred) systems is beneficial.
  • Working knowledge of Servicenow, Jira and Confluence.
  • Familiarity with multiple delivery methodologies and the ability to adapt to the selected project methodology.
  • Experience working closely with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platforms such as IBM FileNet or Hyland OnBase and how these supplement the LOS and business outcomes.
