Responsibilities

• Lead the EU Interoperability program end to end by translating EPI’s strategic ambition into an executable plan with clear milestones, dependencies, risks, decision points and ownership.

• Align products and solutions by connecting interoperability requirements, product capabilities and delivery implications across products, markets and partner schemes.
• Coordinate external partners such as Bizum, Bancomat, Vipps and SIBS, translating external agreements into clear internal actions and managing cross-organisation dependencies.

• Stakeholder and partner management: excellent communication, facilitation and relationship-building skills, including experience navigating senior internal stakeholders and external partner organisations with different priorities and ways of working.
