Job Specification

Department Overview:
ING Wholesale Bank in the UK is a dynamic and challenging environment.

The Information Technology department is accountable for IT services consumed not only by the UK but also other ING Wholesale Bank locations.

The IT department consists of approximately 90 colleagues plus 3rd parties responsible for a range of services including Application Development and Maintenance, Service Desk and Workplace Services and Infrastructure Management.

We operate according to a Scrum Agile delivery process and are passionate about developing our engineering capability to ensure our services are delivered efficiently and securely.

Main Duties and Responsibilities of Role:
The world has changed, and so has our business. We once operated our business 9-5 from our offices, now our colleagues are operating in a truly hybrid manner.

Our technology platform has been transformed to facilitate this, and no more so than in the space of our Workplace Service Chapter.

The UK & Middle-East Workplace Services Chapter manages our Digital Workplace.

This includes our Microsoft Windows PC estate (now predominately laptop based), our collaboration platforms, meeting room technology and supporting infrastructure and our local support organisation including an outsourced local Service Desk.

Following an intense period of technology transformation, including migration to M365 services (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online) and Modern Management (Intune/Microsoft Endpoint Manager), our focus now is ensuring that we have a support organisation that meets the need of our diverse internal customers.

Customers consisting of our Wholesale Banking colleagues, covering a range of corporate banking, capital and financial markets activities.

As Chapter Lead you will support your squad to deliver the final stage of our operating model transformation, a transformation that is focussed on service, and outcomes that deliver excellent digital experience.

Chapter leadership at ING is hands on, you will split your time between, supporting, nurturing, and developing your squad.

You will work alongside your product owner to ensure priorities are aligned to local UK and global Tech priorities, while also executing your own delivery activities.

Since our Workplace Technology platforms are primarily delivered by our global service teams, this is not a purely technical role, more important are your capabilities around vendor & service management, your ability to understand and improve our customer journeys and your ability to help our business deliver on their objectives through allyship and partnership in their interactions with our technology platforms.
