Complete Spec:

We're partnering with a major financial markets organisation to hire a Technology Delivery Director to lead a key digital assets stream within their Group Digital Capabilities & Innovation Tribe.

You will sit at the crossroads of technology, strategy, and leadership, leading cross-functional squads to deliver secure, scalable and future-proof digital asset platforms and products. This is a hands-on technology leadership role, not a pure ideas and slides position.

What you'll do

• Set the vision and drive end-to-end delivery of critical digital asset initiatives, aligned with group and innovation strategy.
• Oversee design, build and production rollout of a digital assets platform in a regulated environment.
• Apply Agile and lean principles to lead high-performing teams across multiple business lines and jurisdictions.
• Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, standardised and modern, working closely with architects and engineers.
• Engage senior stakeholders (C-level, regulators, compliance, clients, fintech partners) and turn complex technology topics into clear, concise narratives.
• Build and mentor multidisciplinary squads, promoting a culture of quality, agility, innovation and continuous improvement.

What you bring

• 10+ years' experience in digital transformation, technology delivery, digital assets or consulting (ideally in financial services).
• Proven track record delivering complex, digital technology products and services, preferably leveraging DLT/blockchain across multiple jurisdictions.
• Familiarity with blockchain/DLT platforms (eg Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, Corda), smart contracts, token standards and consensus mechanisms.
• Solid understanding of financial markets (custody, settlement, tokenisation, liquidity, capital markets structures) and regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and Basel treatments for crypto assets.
• Strong program & portfolio management background (multi-year, multi-workstream, Agile + Waterfall).
• Solid understanding of enterprise architectures (microservices, APIs, cloud, event-driven systems).
• Comfort managing senior stakeholders and vendors, and driving change in cloud-native, modern engineering environments.

Location: Flexible (global options, excluding Asia) - final location will depend on the best candidate.

If you're an autonomous, pragmatic technology leader who can both shape the vision and get it into production, we'd like to hear from you.
