About this opportunity
Welcome to the Data Systems team. We are now looking for an application owner to strengthen our “Application Ownership” team.
What you will be doing:
* Drive the AI/ML application portfolio. Have an overview of owned applications from an aggregated perspective with focus on Information Security, Risk and Compliance, Operations and application functionality. You will have the overview of the overall status of applications you own, working closely with IT Operations and understanding needed actions
* Keep our applications safe and trusted. As an application owner, you are accountable for owned applications being delivered according to internal and external rules and regulations. This is secured by following internal processes and ways of working
* Collaborate with key stakeholders. To be successful in this role, you must enjoy collaborating with stakeholders internally in Data Systems, but also the business representatives utilizing the services we provide. You continuously gather input from both an operational- and business- perspective to understand risks, challenges and improvement needs, giving input to the application lifecycle roadmap
* Act as a subject matter expert. Participate in initiatives and projects related to changing owned applications, securing that quality and integrity of the owned applications are preserved

You'll join a newly established team, with dedicated and experienced colleagues where you will have the opportunity to be part of establishing a well-functioning application ownership team. This is a new role.
What we offer
Our team is located in Helsinki and Stockholm, and we communicate in English, as we co-operate with Nordea employees across the Nordics and Poland. We add value by creating solutions that support our mission of democratizing data access and make it possible for customers and staff to benefit from Nordea's rich and unique data.
In our team we value supportive and helpful attitude, which will ensure you a pleasant onboarding experience. Occasionally we have Thursday breakfast in the office together with other teams in this department, and we follow flexible working hours and hybrid work. We will provide discounted membership in leisure associations, well-being support and professional trainings.
Who you are
Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in being at our best – and that we imagine you share with us.
To succeed in this role, we believe that you:
* You consider yourself to be a great communicator. As an application owner, you will be the bridge between business and technology for owned applications. We believe you enjoy being the person having detailed discussions about operational IT deliveries, while also being able to communicate and drive needed decisions in a clear and structured way
* You enjoy the freedom of taking on a large responsibility. A clear target picture is usually all that is needed for you, and you enjoy finding your own ways to reach your targets. You work in a structured and result-oriented way, being able to coordinate multiple tasks in parallel
* You are a driver with an interest in data management, IT solutions and how they generate value for our customers. You want to secure that the solutions we have in production continues to provide value both internally and to our customers

Additional background and/or skillset, that are useful in this role:
* Experience as a driver (i.e. project manager, agile lead or equivalent)
* Experience in working closely with IT Operations with complex issues/questions
* Experience in the data management area (a big advantage if you have worked with AI/ML products)
