The Mission

Financial Markets (FM) is the Bank’s gateway to the professional markets around the world. Our primary function is to service the needs of ING’s clients with products, services and guidance. FM aims to be a significant player in our market leader and challenger markets, with an additional presence in all the major international markets and specialist expertise in selected emerging markets and products.

Within FM, in Competitive Pricing area, we have ING Pricing Architecture (IPA) platform, which consists of multiple components that enable real-time and batch calculations of financial risk metrics and simulations (e.g. XVA, PFE, Value at Risk, Expected Shortfall, Bilateral Margining, pre-deal derivatives Pricing) which are driven by new banking regulations as well as advanced Risk analysis on the derivative product portfolio of Financial Markets (interest rates, credits, foreign exchange). This platform is in the heart of the IT landscape for our global dealing rooms and risk managers in Asia, Europe and Americas, with 20+ scrum teams spread across 4 locations (Amsterdam, Brussels, Bucharest and Singapore), cooperating to evolve it towards target ING Financial Markets IT vision.

As IT Project Manager, you will work closely with a variety of stakeholders, like other IT Project Managers, Program Managers, Key Business Stakeholders and Sponsors, Business users, IT teams, Product Owners, Release Managers and Production Support teams, in order to align and streamline the delivery of IPA Technical Roadmap (covering all aspects from scope definition, gathering effort estimations, planning, roadmap creation and delivery). Our team is driven by a customer perspective and fosters a diverse and contemporary workplace.
