About the role
This interview covers leadership of a high-risk core banking change involving data, integrations, financial control, vendors and operating teams. The panel is looking for disciplined governance, credible cutover judgement and the confidence to challenge weak readiness evidence. Strong answers connect technical delivery to reconciliation, service continuity and business adoption.
How to prepare
- Map the major workstreams and dependencies in a core banking replacement or migration.
- Prepare an example of a go or no-go decision supported by clear readiness evidence.
- Revise the purpose of migration rehearsals, reconciliation, fallback planning and operational acceptance.
- Think through how you would control vendor scope, decisions, defects and commercial disputes.
- Prepare a case where you challenged a senior sponsor and preserved a constructive relationship.
Common mistakes
- Treating a core banking transformation as a software installation.
- Accepting status colours without testing the evidence behind them.
- Discussing data migration without account-level reconciliation and fallback.
- Leaving frontline readiness and exception handling until after cutover.
