Location Lisbon Category Banking and Finance Subcategory Stock Market, Securities, and Investment Sector Investment Banking Working Hours Full-time Work Modality Hybrid Professional Level Operational Department Bank ### **Description** **The BiG is a national bank specializing in Savings and Investment, with a presence in Portugal, Spain, and Mozambique.** **Imagine doing what you've always loved and building a career in Investment Banking... Imagine yourself at BiG!** At BiG, multiple business areas develop their own solutions — from Excel with macros to Python scripts — supporting critical processes such as calculation, reporting, and decision-making. These solutions (EUDAs – End User Developed Applications) are essential but introduce operational, data quality, and regulatory compliance risks. **We are expanding the team with a profile that ensures these solutions are:** * Reliable; * Controlled; * Auditable; * Aligned with regulatory requirements such as DORA. This role is not purely technical — it is one of governance, critical analysis, and business alignment. **Key Responsibilities:** * Identify and map critical EUDAs across different bank departments; * Assess risk and criticality (financial, operational, regulatory); * Review Python, Excel, and other end-user tool solutions; * Define and implement risk-proportionate controls (without hindering business operations). * Ensure best practices in: * data management; * versioning; * documentation; * auditability; * Collaborate with business, IT, risk, and audit teams; * Prepare evidence and support for internal and external audits. **A key aspect of this role is balancing control versus pragmatism** ### **Minimum Requirements** **What we’re looking for** **Technical Foundation** * Minimum 3 years’ experience with Python (data scripting, automation, analysis); * Comfort working with data and databases (SQL or equivalent); * Advanced Excel experience (formulas, macros preferred). **More important than technical skills** We seek someone who demonstrates: * Critical and risk-oriented thinking; * Ability to distinguish what is critical versus irrelevant; * Pragmatism (avoiding overly heavy solutions); * Ability to work with non-technical business areas; * Strong communication and decision-influencing skills; ➕ **We value** * Higher academic degree in IT or related field; * Experience in regulated environments (banking, insurance, consulting); * Exposure to auditing, internal control, or risk management; * Experience with governance frameworks (formal or informal); * Knowledge of DORA or operational resilience topics. **What this role is NOT:** * It is not a pure development position; * It is not full-time Excel maintenance; * It is not an auditor role disconnected from reality. **It is a cross-functional role where you will help make the bank more robust.** **At BiG, we evolve with everyone’s input. Your opinion can make a difference. Apply now!**
