Development director for Wealth Management & Trading

Can you demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of how to build complex IT solutions – ideally within financial services? Are you a talented people manager with experience in transforming your area to new challenges? Then we are looking forward to hearing from you.

We are looking for a development director ready to share and grow
Wealth Management & Trading provides solutions for custody, securities trading, market information, securities tax reporting, corporate actions, and much more.

"Wealth Management & Trading provides some of the most essential services for our banks and their customers, but it is also a domain starting a significant architecture and technology transformation. Already now the first solutions are built on new technology, development of event streaming has taken off, and the use of industry standard solutions are increased. With a great number of solutions, the transformation task is huge, and it will require both deep domain insight as well as multiple technology competences working together,” says Jan Peter Larsen, deputy head of Customers & Business Transformation.

He continues: "The world around us also continue to evolve. Customers in the banks show increased interest in investments, regulators continue to raise the bar for advising, documentation and reporting. Our job is to find a way where we will both deliver on these requirements and transform at the same time. This is the challenge we will give ourselves for the coming years. I’m sure it will be both hard, fun, and exciting.”

As new development director you will be leading the way in this transformation, and you will report to the deputy head of Customers & Business Transformation.
