Own the infrastructure plan. Build it with the workstreams and the Infrastructure Delivery Manager at the outset; then own it — adjust, re-plan, and adapt as the work evolves

Translate workstream demand into infrastructure requirements. Take workstream objectives, refine them into clear requirements, then agree detailed technical specifications with the delivery teams

Challenge and shape options. Present good / better / best options to workstream leads; help them select pragmatically based on cost, time and risk

Drive delivery to milestones. Track dependencies, identify risks, and drive the infrastructure build (compute, storage, network, virtualization, configuration) to date

Surface and resolve issues. Proactively look across the program for blockers and dependencies between workstreams and infrastructure. Own issues from identification to closure

Convene and chair the work. Organize and chair infrastructure forums, working groups, and cross-workstream technical sessions. Hold the cadence

Escalate with judgment. Know what needs to go up and when. Manage upward visibility without burning the chain unnecessarily

Own status, comms and schedule. Drive delivery to schedule. Manage stakeholder communications. Produce a status that reflects reality

Demonstrable, hands-on delivery of large-scale infrastructure transformation in a complex, regulated enterprise — compute, storage, network, virtualization, environments and operational tooling

Deep, working domain expertise in enterprise infrastructure: storage architectures (included storage isolation/segregation patterns), capacity and performance management, environment strategy (dev/UAT/perf/prod), release and configuration management, monitoring and observability

Proven ability to act as the single technical face-off between business/application workstreams and infrastructure delivery teams — the "neck of the hourglass" — converted demand into agreed specifications and delivered build

Track record of taken accountability (A in RACI) for infrastructure outcomes while partnered with delivery managers who hold R

Previous large-scale transformation experience in financial services or another complex, high-availability environment

Proven ability to operate as a working Lead — comfortable in the technical detail with architects and engineers, while still owned plan, status, risks and stakeholder communications

Strong written and verbal communication; able to write clearly, chair effectively, and brief senior stakeholders

Experience supported database migrations from an infrastructure perspective (Sybase, Oracle, or equivalent) — included storage, throughput and HA considerations

Exposure to trading, risk, or front-to-back capital-markets platforms

Experience with archiving and retention infrastructure, system monitoring tooling, and operational dashboards
