Product Manager - Cyber Recovery

In the Cloud tribe, in the Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) area, the position of Product Owner for Cyber Recovery has become available.

With your pragmatic and delivery-oriented professional attitude, you put your background and experience to good use as Product Owner for Cyber Recovery.
Together with the (partial virtual) squad, the architects and the IT Area Lead you set the goals and work on a technical strategy to achieve those goals. You take ownership of the agreed solution ensuring that solutions delivered meet customer and business needs whilst adhering to legal, risk, and compliance requirements of the bank.
