How you inspire

• You orchestrate the overarching portfolio processes – from Portfolio Kanban / Epic Flow to integration with PI Planning – and continuously develop them
• You help shape our portfolio committees and rituals – from the bank-wide portfolio committee through portfolio syncs to the architecture committee – prepare them, moderate them, and ensure decision-ready foundations regarding impact, effort, risks, and capacity
• You anchor strategy implementation in portfolio management. Together with corporate development, product management, and architecture, you translate strategic goals into portfolio OKRs and roadmaps and support reporting to executive management
• You ensure close alignment with enterprise and IT architecture: initiatives are reviewed early for architectural fit, feasibility, and dependencies, and modernisation receives the necessary space within the portfolio
• You methodically advance value tracking, flow metrics, and lean business cases and support Epic Owners in slicing epics and developing lean business cases

What you bring

• You have education and training at the university of applied sciences or university level and several years of senior-level experience in portfolio management, demonstrably with SAFe or Lean Portfolio Management in practice
• You are methodically strong in portfolio processes, flow metrics, OKRs, prioritisation (e.g. WSJF), and portfolio rituals according to SAFe. A SAFe certification (e.g. LPM) and experience with Jira/Confluence are advantageous
• You have a solid understanding of enterprise and IT architecture, experience in strategy development, and know how to effectively connect portfolio management to strategy and architecture
• You prepare committees, rituals, and workshops carefully and moderate them confidently – including at executive management level
• As a communicative, entrepreneurial-minded individual, you bring together business, IT, and finance, convince across departmental boundaries, and gladly take on professional leadership

We are committed to you!

• Support for your individual development needs, both in time and financially
• Flexible working arrangements (part-time, job sharing, home office, annual working hours)
• Between 27 – 30 days of holiday per year
• Sustainable remuneration: no individual bonuses, but profit sharing for all employees
• How we interact: informal culture – open – personal – team-oriented
