Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of AWS AI platform initiatives.
  • Establish and maintain delivery plans covering milestones, dependencies, resources, financials, risks and expected outcomes.
  • Coordinate delivery across cloud engineering, architecture, security, identity and access management, network, data, platform engineering and business teams.
  • Drive the evolution of AWS cloud foundations for scalable AI adoption.
  • Enable reusable AWS AI services and platform components.
  • Ensure alignment between business needs, AI use cases, platform capabilities, enterprise architecture and technology roadmaps.
  • Facilitate governance and approval processes in line with internal policies, regulatory requirements and Nordea’s delivery framework.
  • Establish clear decision-making forums, delivery standards, operating models and reporting practices.
  • Proactively manage delivery risks, issues and cross-domain dependencies.
  • Drive operational readiness, including support models, service ownership, resilience, security, cost management and transition to operations.
  • Engage senior stakeholders and provide concise, decision-oriented updates on delivery status, risks, financials and required actions.
  • Promote a strong delivery culture based on ownership, transparency, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of leading complex technology programmes in AWS Cloud environments.
  • Strong experience in AWS platform governance, cloud operating models, landing-zone implementation and platform evolution.
  • Ability to scope, drive and govern AWS AI platform initiatives that provide reusable capabilities for scalable AI adoption.
  • Experience leading delivery of AWS-native AI, machine learning and data services.
  • Strong understanding of AI enablement platforms, including Generative AI, large language models, agentic or orchestration frameworks and model lifecycle management.
  • Experience coordinating delivery across architecture, cloud engineering, security, identity and access management, network, data and platform teams.
  • Ability to translate AI and AWS platform roadmaps into executable programmes, milestones and delivery plans.
  • Strong understanding of platform-oriented delivery, including shared services, reusable components, automated onboarding and self-service capabilities.
  • Experience establishing governance frameworks, delivery standards and operating models for large-scale cloud transformations.
  • Understanding of cloud security, resilience, scalability, operational excellence and cost-management principles.
  • Strong stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to engage senior leaders, facilitate decisions and influence cross-functional teams.
  • Very good financial, resource, risk and dependency-management skills.
  • Very good analytical skills and attention to detail.
  • Advanced presentation and reporting skills, particularly using PowerPoint and Excel.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Excellent English skills, both spoken and written.
  • A proactive, pragmatic and solution-oriented attitude.

Desired Qualifications

  • The role is specifically positioned around Nordea’s AWS AI platform rather than generic multi-cloud delivery.

Benefits

  • Offering various opportunities to evolve, develop and learn from brilliant colleagues with diverse backgrounds in a vibrant working environment.
  • Offices are a cornerstone of the company where people connect, collaborate, learn from one another and build culture.
