Your role in the team

  • In this position, you will play a central role in managing our external IT service providers and ensuring that services, quality, costs, and risks are aligned with our requirements.
  • You manage outsourced activities in the ORG/IT department at a tactical level, particularly our SAP data center services, and serve as the central interface between the service providers and NBank.
  • You coordinate collaboration with our external partners, keep track of agreed services and open issues, and ensure their consistent follow-up.
  • You are responsible for the commercial and contractual aspects of service provider relationships and oversee contracts throughout their entire lifecycle.
  • You conduct contract and price negotiations, initiate benchmarks, and work together with the requesting departments to ensure economical and needs-based service delivery.
  • You develop our structures, processes, and tools for managing external service providers and ensure compliance with internal and regulatory requirements.
  • You develop meaningful monitoring for outsourced services and oversee the agreed SLAs and KPIs. Deviations as well as over- and underperformance are identified early, and the necessary measures are initiated.
