Business Technology Lead

Alpian is Switzerland’s first FINMA licensed digital private bank, combining the heritage of Swiss wealth management with a cloud-native, AI-first technology stack. We make premium banking and investing simple, intuitive, and accessible through a personalized, digital-first experience. Backed by the strength of Intesa Sanpaolo through Fideuram, we bring together bold thinkers and pragmatic engineers to redefine what a bank can be.

Why This Role Matters

Alpian was born digital, but technology only creates value when it is fully operationalized. As we scale, the Business Technology Lead ensures our business operations move as fast as our platform. You will act as the bridge between our technology capabilities and business needs, starting with Compliance. By identifying where automation and AI can drive measurable improvements, you will directly impact our ability to scale efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of Swiss banking reliability.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the technology enablement agenda across Alpian, acting as the primary partner for business departments to translate operational constraints into executable solution designs.
• Lead the identification and prioritization of automation and AI opportunities within regulated workflows, specifically targeting KYC, transaction monitoring, and operational controls.
• Design and deliver structured enablement sessions to help business teams master our banking and data platforms in their daily context.
• Drive the adoption of new tools and processes, ensuring they are integrated seamlessly into production environments.
• Collaborate with the CPO and Product teams to ensure business-led opportunities are accurately reflected in the product roadmap.
• Deliver measurable outcomes by tracking impact through concrete operational metrics rather than transformation jargon.
• Ensure all technology-driven improvements align with regulatory requirements and maintain a clear audit trail.
