Let’s shape the future of finance - together

We’re looking for curious minds and collaborative builders. People who believe success means growing together, learning from each other, and challenging the status quo.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.

What you’ll do

You’ll need to thrive in mastering complex projects with high visibility; you’ll be steering the KUBE project consisting of different tracks or sub-projects, including, but not limited to the core common product components, the integration tracks with banks, the contractual, legal, migration and transition tracks.

This means creating a way forward with multiple high-level stakeholders with overarching responsibilities in a complex technological environment.

• Translate business needs into actionable project plans aligned with strategic goals.

• Manage demand, governance, and supply to keep all stakeholders aligned on their responsibilities in delivering the project.

• Lead project execution and coordinate delivery activities across all involved teams.

• Assess and manage the risks and incidents related to the delivery of your project and sub- projects and solve issues quickly and efficiently to limit the impact and/or risks.

• Prevent scope creep by enforcing a clear ‘change management process’.

• Be on top of each track to be able to properly report on progress, KPI’s, decision taking and drive Steerco for appropriate information & decision processes.

• Actively contribute to the realization of the project, propose adequate solutions to unlock bottlenecks, supervise, and validate every aspect of the projects to have them meet the organizational requirements, in line with the methodology and the quality standards agreed amongst stakeholders.

• Facilitate communication and collaboration to maintain a good relationship with all internal and external stakeholders concerned.

• Report to stakeholders such as Steerco, Executive Sponsors, Isabel Mgt & Board.
