Role Summary
The Platform Owner – Deposits & Core Banking serves as the primary bridge between business strategy and technology delivery within the Cash Management Solutions Team. The role carries end-to-end accountability for the bank's Deposits product suite and for the Core Banking platform (currently Profile) that underpins all posting, interest calculation, client data management and financial processing across the organisation.
The incumbent translates strategic and regulatory requirements into clearly defined, prioritised and actionable deliverables, ensuring that technology solutions are robust, compliant, commercially viable and aligned with the bank's broader digital transformation objectives. As the voice of both the business and the system, this role demands a rare combination of banking domain expertise, technical fluency in core banking architecture and the leadership capability to drive outcomes in a complex, regulated environment.
The Cash Management Solutions Team
Cash Management Solutions (CMS) is a Team within the bank's Information Technology division responsible for the design, delivery and ongoing stewardship of technology platforms that support the bank's cash and deposit-related products. CMS operates across multiple verticals, of which Deposits is one. Each vertical is led by a Technical Product Owner who acts as the accountable delivery lead, working in close partnership with Business Product Managers and subject-matter experts embedded in the Business division.
The Deposits Vertical
The Deposits vertical encompasses all technology capabilities related to the bank's deposit product offerings, including current accounts, savings accounts, nostro, vostro, etc. Given the foundational nature of deposit-taking to the bank's business model, this vertical interfaces extensively with risk, compliance, finance, operations and client-facing teams.
Governance Model
The bank operates a split Product Management model in which strategic product ownership and commercial accountability reside with the Product Manager in the Business division, while technical product ownership – including backlog management, solution design and delivery oversight – sits with the Technical Product Owner in IT. The Technical Product Owner for Deposits also holds accountability for the Core Banking platform (Profile), making this role uniquely cross-cutting in its scope and influence.
The anticipated salary range for this role is €65,000.00 – €121,000.00, with the final offer determined based on the candidate’s skills, experience, role scope, location, and relevant market factors. In addition to base salary, the role may be eligible for a discretionary incentive award and a competitive benefits package, including core benefits such as pension provision.
