ING is seeking a highly organized, persistent, and delivery-oriented Infrastructure Project Manager to support a strategic, business-wide initiative in the United States. Reporting to the Head of Infrastructure, Americas, this consultant will translate agreed direction into clear actions, owners, milestones, dependencies, and decisions, and actively drive delivery across locally and globally distributed infrastructure teams.

A key priority will be coordinating infrastructure and connectivity work supporting the evolution of ING's U.S. payments capabilities, including secure and resilient connectivity between central payments technology, ING connection hubs, approved hosting environments, and external financial infrastructure. The target design may involve public cloud, connection-hub locations, a controlled local hosting solution, or a combination of these components. The Head of Infrastructure and appropriate technical and governance stakeholders will determine direction;

this role will organize and drive the resulting execution.

The consultant will also help coordinate infrastructure-related technology-readiness and remediation activities identified through internal assessments and applicable regulatory guidance. This will allow the role to connect infrastructure delivery with the processes, controls, documentation, evidence, and operational-readiness outcomes required for the broader U.S. strategic initiative.

This is first and foremost a project delivery and execution role. Deep technical architecture expertise or deep regulatory subject-matter expertise is not required. The strongest candidate will establish structure quickly, ask the right questions, follow up persistently, remove ambiguity, escalate blockers, and create momentum across teams without relying on direct authority. Experience managing infrastructure or regulatory-driven technology projects is beneficial but not intended to make the profile overly narrow.

As an Infrastructure Delivery Project Manager, you will be responsible for:

• Act as the execution lead for priorities established by the Head of Infrastructure, Americas, converting direction and technical decisions into actionable delivery plans.
• Create and maintain workplans, milestones, owners, dependencies, decision points, risks, issues, and target dates across assigned infrastructure initiatives.
• Proactively follow up on actions and deliverables across local and global infrastructure teams, sustain momentum, and escalate stalled decisions or missed commitments with clear impacts and options.
• Coordinate end-to-end infrastructure delivery for the U.S. payments-connectivity scope, including dependencies across central payments technology, connection hubs, hosting, network, cloud, cybersecurity, environments, testing, operational readiness, and handover.
• Support delivery planning for the hosting and connectivity direction selected by infrastructure leadership, including public cloud, connection-hub locations, and controlled local hosting or data-center solutions where required.
• Organize working sessions, accurately document decisions and actions,…
