IT-Delivery-Project Manager

The ideal candidate should possess at least 10-15 years of experience, with a focus on technology, banking, and project management, including at least five years in banking technology and project management.

Technology experience is a must-have, and pure project managers are not suitable. Cloud knowledge is essential, and familiarity with AI and languages like Python is advantageous but not required to be hands-on.
