• Shape and maintain COOF strategy artifacts (OKRs/KPIs, performance metrics) and safeguard product/capability blueprints.
• Turn strategy into road‑maps and execution plans; steer transitions end‑to‑end.
• Orchestrate and govern the change portfolio (insight consolidation, documentation quality, data integrity, and tooling).
• Produce bi‑weekly and monthly portfolio reporting for senior stakeholders and Management Team discussions; track milestones, predictability, and targets.
• Initiate and deliver change projects end‑to‑end (approach, business case, governance, risks/issues, interdependencies, and escalation).
• Provide decision‑ready analysis, make trade‑offs explicit, and improve steerability across initiatives.
• Align and influence stakeholders across COOF, countries, and central functions in a regulated, multi‑country environment.

• Operating model & conceptual thinking – connect strategy, operating model design, and execution; translate concepts into concrete choices, governance, and ways of working.
• Portfolio/programme management – structure complex portfolios into clear priorities, plans, and governance; drive predictability through crisp reporting and delivery discipline.
• Senior stakeholder management – build alignment across countries and functions; communicate with clarity, credibility, and a strong sense of ownership.
• Data‑driven steering – turn insights into decision‑ready options, trade‑offs, and recommendations.

• Master’s degree (or equivalent experience).
• 10+ years’ experience in consulting and change management, ideally in banking or another regulated environment.
• Strong strategy‑to‑execution track record: operating model design, road‑maps, governance set‑up, and delivery in complex stakeholder environments.
• Hands‑on execution mindset; comfortable leading and delivering transformation initiatives across borders, with multiple dependencies.
• Clear, confident communicator; fluent in English; strong PowerPoint and Excel skills to structure stories and steer decisions.

• Salary indication tailored to your qualities and experience.
