**Company Description**:

- Join the UAE’s largest bank and one of the world’s largest and safest financial institutions. Our focus is to create value for our employees, customers, shareholders and communities to grow through differentiation, agility and innovation. We are looking for top talent and your success is our success. Accelerate your growth as you help us reach our goals and advance your career. Be ready to make your mark a top company, in an exciting & dynamic industry.To understand the purpose of the unit and the role within, let’s note that the mission of the GCOO Business Management function is to make the GCOO function an enabler of technology and state-of-art processing for our business lines to better serve existing and potential FAB customers, globally. Group Chief Operating Officer's Business Management department entails 6 critical functions:

- ** FAB's Research and Innovation Center** for providing the innovation tools and instilling the innovation culture in the way FAB operates while spearheading the exploration for the cutting-edge tech in banking
- ** GCOO Projects and Partnerships **for large & cross-functional transformational programs related to Group Tech, Group Operations and Strategic Vendor Management; as well as initiatives in collaboration with strategic 3rd parties
- ** Operations Transformation **for Process Re-engineering and Operations Support in MI & Outsourcing & Centralization initiatives
- ** Group Policy and Procedures** for bank-wide process documentation and maintenance
- ** Financial Performance for **tracking key financial performance indicators, leading synergy drives and support budgeting;
- ** GCOO strategy and planning** for steering tech and operations teams into the direction set by Group Strategy and aligning goals and team structures accordingly.

The GCOO Projects & Partnerships department is responsible for end-to-end management and governance of large-scale and multi-phased projects, mostly cutting across multiple business lines, enablement units and third parties. The default scope of the team are those programs which are mandated by GCOO due to heavy Operational / Tech effort involved; however, it is not limited to those, provided EXCO direction to take on any additional responsibility.

Moreover, the Projects & Partnerships Department can provide project management support other programs led by internal teams and/or 3rd parties such as central bank or any other important stakeholder like an EXCO-appointed consultant. This dynamic department also serves as a go to hub for strategically identifying and onboarding individuals aligned with the GCOO growth objectives, resources are also adeptly allocated to various projects within business management and other areas of GCOO.

The programs led by the team will be critical in nature with large budgets, and hence, carry significant amount of financial and reputational risk.

The programs are expected to encompass all elements of the program management, all the way from conceptualization to post-go-live monitoring and change management. The department may or may not own the execution responsibility of all initiatives across the phases of the program given the complexity and bandwidth requirement. In case a third party or a cross-functional team has been appointed for execution of the initiatives, accountability will still rest on the Projects & Partnerships department and a proper governance mechanism will be put in place to timely steer any derailment from scope or insufficient speed of delivery.

Examples of such large programs to be led or supported by the department can be multi-phase/multi year transformations of whole departments’ operating models; company mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing of a business-critical activity over time, re-organization/capacity assessments, setting up a new business venture inhouse or in partnership with 3rd parties/ any strategy execution which can scope any of the above or similar long-term efforts.

Significant stakeholder management, resource prioritization and coordination effort is expected, across internal teams and external vendors, as well as subsidiaries and other business partners.
