Beyond program execution, you will be end-to-end accountable for driving Business Development (BD) and Account Growth (CD) within the German banking sector by identifying strategic opportunities, leading high-stakes deal proposals, originating revenue, and expanding long-term C-suite relationships. You will serve as a key executive advisor to senior banking leaders while sponsoring practice growth, mentoring leadership talent, and shaping the strategic direction of our Core Banking practice.

• Drive and sponsor complex, large-scale core banking transformations, system replacements, and digitalization programs at the executive level across all phases, from market origination and C-level positioning to implementation governance and value realization.
• Provide strategic C-suite advisory on target operating models, enterprise architecture, business process redesign, and high-impact Avaloq platform strategies.
• Own business development targets and market growth within the German banking practice, leading strategic pursuit teams, shaping major proposal bids, and closing end-to-end deal opportunities.
• Serve as a executive-level trusted advisor to C-suite and senior bank leadership, establishing strategic partnerships and long-term accounts within the German financial sector.
• Lead, empower, and scale leadership talent and multidisciplinary project teams, sponsoring practice development while establishing high-performance standards across functional and technical Avaloq capabilities.
