Core Banking Systems IT Manager

The Core Banking Systems Manager is responsible for the analysis, localization, configuration, and ongoing support of Corefinans, the in-house developed core banking software built within the Group, Nexent Bank NV, Netherlands, being used in multiple countries and banks. This role requires a solid understanding of the system’s architecture, including Product-Based Modeling, PRM (Parametrization), POT (Product Tree), and the associated workflow structures. The manager will collaborate closely with the development team based in the Netherlands, working in an agile environment to translate business needs into clear technical requirements, coordinate user acceptance testing (UAT), and oversee post-production validations. Key responsibilities include configuring the system to meet both business and regulatory requirements, managing user access and roles, and delivering daily support to end users while driving sustainable, long-term solutions. The role also involves managing integrations with third-party systems such as financial and regulatory reporting tools, and working closely with the reporting team to ensure seamless data flow and operational efficiency. Given the small size of the bank, the manager is also expected to provide minimal but effective day-to-day IT helpdesk support to users when needed.
