Technical Delivery Manager

About the company:
A leading Risk Solution Provider in Asia, our organization specializes in delivering cutting-edge risk management solutions tailored to the financial services industry. With a strong presence across the Asia-Pacific region, we empower banks and financial institutions to navigate complex regulatory landscapes, enhance operational efficiency, and mitigate risks through innovative technology and expert consulting services.

Role Overview
We are seeking experienced Technical Delivery Managers / Solution Delivery Architects who can independently lead end-to-end implementation of enterprise-scale risk platforms for banking clients across Southeast Asia.

This role requires a hands-on leader who combines solution architecture capability, strong delivery governance, and customer-facing leadership to drive successful project execution from pre-sales through go-live and stabilization. You are expected to own the technical delivery outcome, not just coordinate—covering solution design, integration architecture, implementation strategy, and production readiness.

Key Responsibilities
• Lead full lifecycle delivery: solution design through implementation, integration, UAT, go-live, and stabilization
• Act as the technical authority for customer projects, ensuring scalable and production-ready solutions
• Drive on-time, on-quality delivery under complex, multi-stakeholder environments (client IT, vendors, partners)
• Translate business requirements into end-to-end technical solutions
• Design architectures across risk decision engines and rule systems, data integration (batch/real-time APIs, streaming), distributed systems (Kafka, Redis, ES, etc.), and on-premise / private cloud / hybrid deployments
• Define high availability, performance, and security architecture aligned with banking standards
• Lead integration with client systems: core banking, LOS, payment systems, data platforms
• Define data models, API contracts, and system interaction patterns
• Guide teams on customization vs. standard product usage, ensuring maintainability and scalability
• Act as primary technical interface to client architects, CIO teams, and delivery partners
• Drive technical workshops, architecture reviews, and design approvals
• Manage expectations and resolve complex technical escalations
• Establish delivery plans, milestones, and technical checkpoints
• Identify and mitigate risks in performance, scalability, and integration complexity
• Ensure production readiness, including deployment, rollback, monitoring, and support handover
• Support stabilization phase and critical issue resolution
• Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and system optimization
• Contribute to delivery best practices, reusable architectures, and standardization

Requirements:
8-15+ years in enterprise software delivery / system integration
Proven experience delivering banking or financial systems (risk, fraud, credit, payments, or core systems)
Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale implementation projects independently
Strong architecture experience in distributed systems and microservices
Experience with API design (REST/gRPC) and data processing (real-time & batch)
Solid understanding of system integration patterns and high availability & scalability design
Strong client-facing communication skills with ability to engage senior stakeholders
Fluent in English
