• Ability to read and understand technical documentation and solution designs.
• Demonstrated experience of leading platform migrations or digital transformation initiatives.
• Experience documenting requirements and analyzing business processes.
• Prior experience in comparable regulated environments, including banking, financial services, leasing, or other highly regulated industries, is highly desirable.
• Experience collaborating with external software suppliers and development teams working across locations.
• Solid knowledge of software development lifecycle models, such as Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, or hybrid ways of working.
• Experience using Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or comparable project management tools.
• Demonstrated ability to handle multiple stakeholders with different priorities.
• Understanding of data migration principles and common risks connected to migration.
• Ability to take part in technical discussions and question proposed solutions when appropriate.

It is considered advantageous if you have experience with leasing products and leasing operations, financial systems migrations, product migration and portfolio transformation, data migration projects, vendor management, and regulatory or compliance-driven projects.

Personal Attributes

You should have strong analytical, planning and problem-solving skills, together with the ability to manage stakeholders, communicate clearly and facilitate effectively. The role also requires sound judgement, negotiation and conflict resolution skills, a structured and detail-oriented approach, and the ability to lead and influence in fast-paced, cross-functional environments without direct authority.
