• Identify, manage, and resolve dependencies and interdependencies across initiatives, taking ownership of projects end‑to‑end and driving them forward with minimal oversight
• Support Agile delivery practices while applying strong commercial lending and loan accounting knowledge to ensure solutions align with business, regulatory, and operational requirements
