Can anyone recommend a course for someone looking to move from senior software engineer/architect role to a technology management role in a traditional bank ? I am comfortable in Technology delivery but I need a guide map to successfully traverse the organizational politics and egos and policies. I know I need help with those soft skills.

For soft skills, I would recommend reading The Case for Servant Leadership by Ken Keith. Take the Strengths Finder survey and get the full assessment. If you can afford it, find an executive coach to help you developing a learning plan to develop your soft skills. Also look for networking groups that might have soft skills seminars. I am a board member for one and we meet monthly and have guest speakers that talk about leadership, communications, networking, etc.

I appreciate your contribution, but this doesn't answer OP's question.
Secondly, Udemy is notoriously a sham full of copyright infringement. So I would respectfully ask that folks use alternative learning platforms when possible.
Here's one of many, many, examples of content theft / copyright infringement: https://www.troyhunt.com/the-piracy-paradox-at-udemy/

I really wonder if anyone not hand-picked for an Olympic team / for a position through nepotism ever got ANY benefit from "coaches".
