• You create detailed requirements documents, user stories and functional specifications for both waterfall and agile IT delivery.
• Through your analyses, you support the ongoing development and redesign of future-ready business processes.
• You take ownership of topics (e.g., analysing market trends and regulatory changes, deriving resulting change needs, and participating in specialized working groups).

REQUIREMENTS

• A successfully completed degree, e.g., in business/economics, law, STEM, engineering or humanities; an additional completed banking apprenticeship/training is an advantage but not required.
• Ideally, relevant prior knowledge of trade products (guarantees, letters of credit, forfaiting) or loans.
• Methodological knowledge of business analysis.
• The ability to quickly understand complex matters, abstract them, and present them in a structured way.
• An open mindset, curiosity, and strong motivation to tackle complex topics and projects with a high-performing team paired with strong interpersonal skills and communication ability.
• A pronounced customer, quality and output-driven orientation.
• Very good German and English skills.

Ideally, you’ve already gained project experience in:

• Analysing business processes and solution design
• Planning and delivering complex change initiatives (agile and/or traditional)
• Project, stakeholder and change management
