Role Description

Role purpose

Provide central quality assurance and constructive challenge for Value Stream acceptance criteria, UAT coverage and evidence across business-process, product, client-servicing and migration-related BRT scenarios. The role will not replace Value Stream SMEs. Instead, it will ensure that their acceptance criteria and evidence are sufficiently complete, clear, risk-based and relevant to end-to-end business readiness.

Key responsibilities 

• Own relevant Central scenarios
• Review and quality-assure acceptance criteria created or co-created by Value Stream SMEs;
• Check that criteria cover the complete business outcome rather than only individual system functions;
• Challenge missing:
• Process steps
• Business hand-offs
• Impacted departments
• Client outcomes
• Exceptions and reversals
• Migration and coexistence conditions
• Controls and reconciliations
• Review Value Stream LIAT evidence and assess whether it provides credible BRT coverage;
• Identify gaps, assumptions, dependencies and scope limitations;
• Coordinate cross-value Stream workshops and coverage-challenge sessions;
• Recommend whether residual gaps require:
• Additional evidence
• Targeted BRT
• A mitigating control
• Scope removal
• Formal risk acceptance
• Support the design of targeted BRT storyboards;
• Prepare scenario-level readiness conclusions for central governance.

Skills and Expertise

Essential skills and experience

• Experience in banking transformation, migration or operational readiness;
• Broad knowledge of corporate or wholesale banking processes;
• Practical understanding of migration, cutover and coexistence impacts;
• Ability to understand end-to-end business processes across multiple Value Streams;
• Experience reviewing acceptance criteria, test coverage and business evidence;
• Ability to identify when criteria are ambiguous, incomplete or not sufficiently evidence-based;
• Confidence to challenge Value Stream SMEs constructively;
• Strong workshop facilitation and stakeholder-management skills;
• Clear and concise written communication;
• Fluency in German and English.

Priority domain knowledge 

• Migration, cutover and coexistence;
• Corporate banking client servicing;
• Payments and operational processing;
• Operational resilience and recovery;
• Detailed expertise in every product is not required. The role must be able to recognise where specialist knowledge is needed and coordinate the appropriate Value Stream SME.
