We offer you

Operating at the very core of Ikano Bank, you will have an active role in various decision forums, represent us to external partners and create a great foundation for further development.

This position is more than meets the eye. You will get the chance to push boundaries and are expected to challenge the status quo. All as part of a caring and open culture where we live our values, work hard, have fun and operate with a long-term perspective.  Because here opportunities arise and growth follows.

Are you the one for Ikano?

We are looking for an inspiring and authentic team player with a strategic mindset and a comprehensive understanding of B2B-products (preferably within the areas of leasing, factoring and cards) gained through a number of years spent working within the banking and finance industry.

You will have a strong commercial focus combined with a genuine interest and knowledge of developments in the B2B-field together with a good understanding of related technology in a business context.  Ideally, you will have experience with agile ways of working.

Great communication and facilitator skills are also a must in this position and you are fluent in spoken and written English.

Previous working experience in a European multi-market context is strongly preferred.

You thrive in a team environment and take the lead with Ikano’s values at heart. You are experienced in building and maintaining relationships with internal and external stakeholders. Taking ownership and responsibility is important to you, and you lead by example.

We want our customers, partners and co-workers to choose us for what we stand for, what we deliver and how we deliver it. Three basic values guide our work: common sense and simplicity, working together and daring to be different.  These values should feel natural to you.

Join us now – together we will find a better way

In this role you will report to our Head of Product & Customer Experience and, as you will be working within a bank-wide scope, the role will require quite a bit of travelling and virtual meetings. We would ideally like this role to be based at our head office in Malmö, Sweden, but would be open to discussing placement at one of our other sites for the right candidate.

We look forward to receiving your application with a CV and cover letter prior to the 8^th of September 2019, and please note that we are unable to accept applications via email.

We respectfully decline any contact from recruitment or advertisement agencies.
