This combined technical and people leadership role leads and develops the regional engineering team while retaining strong hands-on technical ownership across data centre, campus, WAN, wireless, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, and network automation domains.\nThe position sets technical direction, establishes engineering standards, acts as the senior escalation point for complex issues, and owns end-to-end delivery of network transformation initiatives. The four core technical competencies for this position are: (1) Cisco ACI; (2) Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN; (3) routing protocols - BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP; and (4) Cisco Wireless. Candidates must demonstrate advanced, current, hands-on capability in at least three of these four areas.\nRoles and Responsibilities\nTeam Leadership and Engineering Excellence\nLead, coach, and develop the APAC network engineering team, building technical depth, accountability, delivery discipline, and succession capability.\nSet technical direction and maintain a high engineering standard across architecture, design quality, automation, documentation, testing, and execution.\nAct as the senior technical escalation point for complex engineering issues and critical incidents, providing decisive direction and hands-on support where required.\nEmbed peer review, reusable engineering patterns, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across the function.\nEngineering Strategy, Architecture, and Standards\nServe as the Technical SME and engineering owner for the Bank's APAC data network, with primary ownership of Cisco ACI and broader ownership across campus, LAN/WAN, wireless, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, and related connectivity services.\nDefine and maintain target architectures, engineering standards, configuration baselines, design patterns, technology roadmaps, and lifecycle plans.\nEnsure solutions are secure, resilient, scalable, supportable, observable, and aligned with banking, operational risk, regulatory, and audit requirements.\nProvide technical guidance and design assurance to network engineering, enterprise architecture, cyber security, infrastructure, application, and operations teams.\nProgramme and Project Delivery\nOwn end-to-end engineering delivery for data centre, campus, WAN, wireless, and SD-WAN initiatives from planning and design through build, test, migration, cutover, and operational handover.\nLead concurrent network transformation and modernisation projects, managing scope, resources, dependencies, risks, milestones, and delivery quality.\nCoordinate with project teams, application owners, operations, security, vendors, and OEM partners to remove blockers and deliver agreed outcomes.\nProvide clear technical status, risk, decision, and dependency reporting to senior stakeholders and governance forums.\nHands-on Design, Build, and Troubleshooting\nPersonally lead and, where required, execute the architecture, detailed design, build, implementation, migration, and validation of enterprise network infrastructure.\nProduce and assure high-quality HLDs, LLDs, implementation procedures, migration and cutover plans, test plans, validation evidence, and rollback plans.\nLead complex troubleshooting across ACI, routing, switching, SD-WAN, wireless, load balancing, DNS, firewall traffic flows, and application connectivity.\nUse packet capture, telemetry, platform diagnostics, and flow-analysis tools to drive evidence-based root cause analysis and permanent remediation.\nReview high-risk changes and conduct post-implementation technical reviews to improve future engineering outcomes.\nAutomation and NetDevOps\nDrive automation across network provisioning, configuration, compliance, testing, validation, and operational handover using Ansible, Python, and scripting.\nEstablish repeatable, version-controlled engineering workflows using Git/GitHub, Jinja2 templates, CI/CD pipelines, and automated test frameworks.\nApply infrastructure-as-code and NetDevOps practices, including Terraform where appropriate, to improve speed, consistency, traceability, and control.\nUse REST APIs, NETCONF/RESTCONF, YANG models, and orchestration platforms to integrate and automate network services.\nTechnical Governance, Risk, and Vendor Management\nProvide technical governance for architecture, design, change, configuration, resilience, security, observability, and lifecycle management.\nEnsure engineering deliverables meet operational risk, regulatory, auditability, vulnerability, and documentation requirements.\nEngage OEMs and strategic vendors on solution design, technical assurance, product roadmaps, defects, lifecycle matters, and complex escalations.\nSupport audit, risk, vulnerability, obsolescence, and resilience-remediation activities relating to the data network estate.\nJob Requirements:\nLeadership and Experience\nMinimum 14 years of enterprise network engineering experience, including demonstrated responsibility for leading or managing engineering teams.\n\nProven people leadership is mandatory; this is not an individual contributor role operating at a purely managerial distance from the technology.\n\nDemonstrated success as the senior escalation point for complex technical issues and as the accountable engineering lead for major delivery outcomes.\n\nStrong track record delivering enterprise-scale network builds, migrations, transformation programmes, and service improvements.\n\nBanking or financial services experience is strongly preferred; APAC regional experience is an advantage.\n\nCurrent hands-on technical credibility is essential.
