What you can expect
Bank of America has embarked on a multi-year transformation journey to replace its legacy payments platform with modern technology platforms. As part of the platform transformation, the bank is revamping its end-to-end ecosystem to improve operational & technological efficiency. The platform is being built in an ongoing and agile process to easily adapt to new technologies, integrate more tools, and provide a structure that can evolve over time. At the core of this transformation is the Global Payments Engine (GPE) which is running on the Finacle platform. Finacle software is a core banking product from Infosys.
The first Finacle implementation was successfully completed in Oct 2020 for Indonesia, to address the local regulatory requirement to host core banking infrastructure onshore. Since 2021, initiatives implemented include SEPA Instant, HK Real Time Payments/Cross Border and Regulatory mandates such as Indonesia Direct Debits and Indonesia RTP. The Finacle roadmap will increase significantly from 2025 with implementations across APAC, EMEA and LATAM.
The Delivery Lead will play a leadership role in the banking transformation program. This role will oversee the delivery of the core banking platform into the bank’s ecosystem. He/She will work with product teams, functional leads, technical leads, and vendor SMEs across works-streams (e.g. payments, trade finance) under the transformation program and will have direct accountability in ensuring that the platform is implemented in accordance to scope, cost, timeline, and quality expectations.
The role is required to work closely with business, operations, vendor partners and various peer groups/stakeholders in technology.
