This role is suitable for you who thrive at the intersection of change management and modern IT operations. You will lead the establishment of a way of working that functions both in daily operations and long-term within a regulated banking context, with close collaboration between application teams, platform owners, operations functions, security functions, and external partners. This is an opportunity for you who want to combine strategic influence with operational execution in an environment where stability and quality truly matter.

• You ensure that the team can work operationally in modern environments with container platforms, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Azure, pipelines, networking, IAM, secrets, storage, and databases.
• You establish ways of working for incident management, alert management, escalation, runbooks, problem management, improvement work, and operational follow-up.
• You introduce a model for production maturity and onboarding of applications to the SRE team, including readiness criteria, documentation requirements, observability, support boundaries, and recovery capabilities.
• You drive the development of monitoring, dashboards, observability, and metrics, preferably with support from LGTM or similar tools.
• You contribute to reduced operational risk through better stability, shorter recovery times, fewer recurring incidents, more automation, and clearer operational governance.

• At least 8–10 years of experience in senior roles within IT operations, production operations, platform, cloud, infrastructure, or SRE.
• Documented experience in establishing, transforming, or leading operational capabilities or teams within operations, platform, or SRE.
• Documented experience working in complex, business-critical IT environments with many dependencies and stakeholders.
• Experience in defining or introducing operating models, responsibility distribution, collaboration forms, processes, and governance between multiple functions.
