IT Area Lead II (Engineering Manager)

Do you want to make impact in the daily live of customers? Within ING Tech Netherlands, we have an opening for Business Lease for an experienced IT Area Lead with digitalization vision, talent, ambition and enthusiasm for Tech and banking.

Who we are

As Tech Netherlands, we drive sustainable progress for all – powered by technology!

Our purpose is to serve our NL customers in the best possible way. We want to offer the most effortless and relevant banking experience in the Netherlands. Banking experiences that make it easier for anyone to pay, plan, reach their goals in life and in business, expand their business, do the right thing, and withstand the unexpected. Our products and services are built on technology.

The Tech Netherlands organization consists of more than 2.000 talented engineers, who are working together over various locations (Netherlands, Romania, India, Philippines) to deliver and own best in class services and applications for our customers. Each product or capability is led by an IT Area Lead, of which Lease is one.

Lease

Within Lease we offer corporate clients (SEM, SME, Mid-Corp and Wholessale) the ability to lease equipment to run their business effectively. Our aim is to provide this service offering through our Digital Channels, and with ability for consumption by other ING Lease countries. Today the collaboration exists between Netherlands and Belgium. We are intent on exploring expanding this to other prospect countries where ING is present, but has no active Lease business yet. This will entail the further productization and hardening of our Lease digital products in order to make them ready for re-use and integration in other countries’ customer journeys.

• Manage an international team with full delivery responsibility, including vendor management and IT custodianship.
• Collaborate with diverse stakeholders, actively listen, and find solutions that balance technical excellence with business needs.
• Communicate with clarity and confidence, bringing a strong point of view while remaining open to constructive dialogue

How to succeed

• Education: BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent.

• Technical Expertise: Strong hands-on engineering skills, primarily in Java, and the ability to understand complex technical architectures.

• Leadership Experience: Previous experience as an IT Area Lead or equivalent (Engineering Manager), with responsibility for delivery and team performance
