Who are we:
KBC Global Services is the engine behind KBC Group – a leading bank-insurance group with over 41,000 talented employees serving more than 12 million clients across Europe. Since 2021, we have been supporting the digital transformation of KBC Group providing software development, QA, AI, and other IT solutions working on a wide range of projects combining classical IT with digital banking.
Our team is responsible for the development, enhancement, and maintenance of key applications supporting credit risk management and regulatory reporting processes, including AnaCredit, Credits ICM, CRIMS, and ESG reporting. These applications handle critical credit risk data, such as counterparty information, risk metrics, loans, credits, and collateral, and enable timely and accurate reporting to both business stakeholders and regulatory authorities.
This is an exciting time to join the team. Over the coming years, we will embark on a major transformation initiative, including a significant redesign of the AnaCredit reporting flows, while continuing to support and evolve the existing reporting ecosystem. As we navigate this transition, we are committed to building a sustainable, high-performing delivery organization.
To help drive this journey, we are looking for an enthusiastic and servant-minded Scrum Master who is passionate about Agile practices, team development, and continuous improvement. You will play a key role in fostering collaboration, enabling delivery excellence, and supporting the team through a period of significant change and innovation.
You will work in a SAFe context with a mixed business and ICT team focusing on end-to-end ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
