Chapter Lead for Java Software Engineers

The Debt Management Area is a high priority area of Danske Bank with great attention from senior leadership on our deliveries. The job offers exciting opportunities - in a dual role – where you will have the chance to prove yourself and add great value as both HR leader and Specialist (Java Software Engineer).
If you would like to be part of a great transformation of the Debt Management Area in Danske Bank, now is your chance to join our amazing tribe. We are looking for a Chapter Lead to join the Debt Management Development Tribe.

You will join a team of highly skilled and innovative professionals within Business- and IT Development, backed by a great set of values built on a high sense of responsibility, proactivity, "can-do" attitude and most importantly an expectation that it should be fun to go to work.

As Chapter Lead

You will have the possibility (with the support from the Tribe Leadership Team and the extended leadership team of Product Owners and Chapter Leads) to hire and form your chapter, for this to be an integrated part of the Tribe and the One Tribe Culture.

As an HR manager, you will have 8-12 direct reports, for which you will be responsible for their professional and personal development. At the same time, you will take an active part in various leadership tasks in a squad-, Tribe- and outside-Tribe context. You will work closely together with the IT Lead and your leader colleagues in Denmark, Lithuania, and India to get all support you need to excel in the role and make your team members shine.

Furthermore you will:

• Act as HR manager for other skilled Software Engineers (Java), being accountable for their growth - both on a professional and personal level.
• Work closely with the IT Tribe Lead, Solution Architects, and the other Chapter Leads to ensure we attract, develop, and retain a team of highly skilled and motivated employees with a solid team spirit.
• Be responsible for your chapter and support chapter members in any need they have related to HR or their area of competence.
• Be an important member of a squad with a focused area of responsibility and delivery focus – doing coding, solution design, etc.

What we imagine you bring

Either you have been a leader for some years, with an engineering background, ready to do IT development once again, or you come from a senior or chief software engineer position, with the interest and motivation to try out leadership.

As Chapter Lead, you are a supportive and listening leader, with a solid technology base. As a Catalyst leader, you embody that in how you approach the work.

You have a solid technical profile and the ability to develop and motivate others, while being able to define the HOW (How we want to build solutions, following Danske Bank's development standards), having a good understanding of IT architecture and hands-on experience with solution design.

You will also have:

• A natural interest in seeing, challenging, and fixing areas which could be improved, both in and outside the Tribe.
• Experience in back-end Java development, covering all phases from design and build to deploy and run.
• Experience working in agile setups would be beneficial.
• Focus on team spirit and possess solid stakeholder management skills and experience.
• Advanced English language skills.

What do we offer

You will benefit from a highly attractive benefits package offering health insurance, pension, and other great benefits. You will also have flexible work hours to ensure your work/life balance, and with 6 weeks of vacation.

Your workplace will be at the bank's new Headquarters in Central Copenhagen, just next to Copenhagen H.
