Product Lead Credit Risk Data Ingestion

Are you passionate about data, risk management, and driving meaningful change? ING is looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic, and results-driven Product Lead to join the Credit Risk Tribe within COO Risk. If you're ready to take ownership, lead strategic initiatives, and make a real impact - then we are looking for you!

The opportunity in COO Risk sits right at the heart of the Bank’s operations. We translate our rather complex banking business exposures into impact on risk weighted assets and provisions in line with the constantly changing business desires and the latest regulatory requirements. We also provide important insights in NFR and Compliance topics and cater for corresponding regulatory 
reporting needs. COO Risk delivers baseline and change activities for the Risk Organization with the purpose to drive our partners to maximize value in a safe & compliant environment. We play a critical role at ING and service all business lines, CROs and COOs of the Bank.

COO Risk is committed to take explicit ownership of the end-to-end execution of regulatory transformation initiatives. To deliver on these ambitious promises, we are looking for a Product lead who has an end-to-end strategic focus around our services and leads our squads in terms of clear prioritization, accountability and capabilities. The Product Lead is a position where all elements of a product come together, the what and the how, with an end-to-end transformation responsibility.

The role
As a Product Lead you will manage a well-balanced team across multiple locations and between multiple squads centred around Data Ingestion for Vortex. This means being responsible for all data deliveries coming to Vortex, including accommodating changes and new source deliveries, maintaining the pre-processor functionality. Alignment of solutions across peers [MBB-3] within COOR and with business stakeholders across the bank. The main stakeholders sit within the newly created Credit Risk department within the CRO function.

You will cover all the Credit Risk work related to change [involvement in all Credit Risk related programs such as Basel IV] and operations [running daily and monthly reporting cycles] related to Vortex Data ingestion. This applies to Credit Risk data from all ING locations, both Retail and Wholesale Banking, including all regulatory and business change work which includes work on 
multiple Credit Risk related applications (Vortex, SME Engine, Scoping Engine) under the current scope. The Product Lead position is based in NL.

Work environment
You work not only on delivery and on how we run a product, but also on creating a vision on how we improve our services, how we manage the business value and how we increase collaboration across functions. You do that by steering three squads who work on a specific service by providing them with a strategic direction, by coaching them on the job, defining the product roadmap and by 
managing stakeholders. The people who work in the squads report to you, which means it is your job to empower them to thrive and perform at their best. You set direction, you help them to develop their craftsmanship 
and you have continuous conversations about their career development.

As a Product Lead you report hierarchically to the Credit Risk Tribe Lead. Within the Tribe, we do not solely focus on transformation, also ensuring all data is processed as per the agreed timelines is at the core what we do. By doing so, we do ensure that every colleague has insights in their daily, monthly, or quarterly data in a timely manner. Consequently, we monitor the timeline of internal and external reporting and apply the correct standards for data quality to our 
stakeholders.

Roles and responsibilities
As a Product Lead, you:

• Actively manage all internal parties and projects to successfully deliver upon the initiatives within the Data Ingestion area

• Be able to work in a collaborative and highly complex setting
• Be able to influence the level playing field of your team including teams outside of COO Risk
• Able to take responsibility, steer strategy and realisations based on facts and data; managerial courage to question and make decisions for highly complex issues
• Build the craftsmanship of the employees in the team in line with the strategy of the Credit Risk Tribe
• Ensure compliance with relevant regulation and internal/external requirements

How to succeed
We are looking for a leader who takes things on and makes things happen; who is passionate about helping others to be successful; and has a knack for always being a step ahead. You are a naturally collaborative person who listens and invests in others to achieve common goals. You love to challenge the status quo and are eager to propose creative solutions to problems.

As a Product Lead, you will also need to be able to:

• Drive and manage large change programs in an international context and master complex financial content
• Lead and deliver complex (multi-year) change programs on program level – covering multiple countries / functional departments
• Communicate effectively to senior management, in which you can adapt your style and the content of your communication to the needs of others you work with. You always pay attention to the input and opinions of others
• Be organizational savvy, you maneuver easily through complex policies, processes and people-related organizational dynamics across ING
• Look ahead, you show a strategic mindset and you find future opportunities which you can translate into concrete strategies
• Be tech savvy, where you anticipate and leverage innovations in digital and technical applications that make ING commercially stronger and more effective
• Build an effective team, that has diverse skills and perspectives to achieve common goals
• People management: being responsible for the inflow, progression, and outflow of employees of ‘your’ teams and playing an active role in the well-being and engagement of employees and the development of their craftsmanship
