Job Description
Are you an experienced product management, strategy or transformation professional looking to apply your skillset to data and analytics, particularly to establish the emerging practice of data product management at a leading Nordic bank? If yes, we would like to hear from you!
About the Group and team:
At Danske Bank, we are on a journey to transform how we work with data. Under the Forward 28 Strategy, we want to empower colleagues across the Group to make the most of the data they own. This will see a shift towards a federated data strategy, which is supported by the concept of data products.
The Data Product Centre of Excellence mission is to facilitate increased adoption of data products across Danske Bank. We champion applying the product mindset to data, to ensure that the data products created across the Group are of a high quality, valuable to meet strategic/customer needs and reusable.
Within the Data Product CoE, the Data Product Portfolio cluster (which this role is part of) is a highly strategic and customer centric team, working across a breadth of data product priorities. These range from supporting engagement and discovery of new data products with our business partners, establishing the optimal product governance and operating model for data products across the Group and supporting strategic decision making that will increase adoption of data product concepts.

We are seeking an experienced Portfolio Analyst with a strong background in areas like product management, strategy and/or transformation. You will have a strong consulting or product toolbox that you can apply to customer centric problems. As we are on the beginning of the journey for data products at Danske Bank, we will be shaping new concepts for the Group, and putting structure into ambiguity will be a must! Comfort with data products and domain knowledge of banking would be looked upon favourably.
The right candidate for this position should thrive in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment, be proactive and enjoy both planned and ad-hoc tasks. There will be plenty of opportunities to work cross-functionally across the Group and influence thinking on data products. Flexibility to work at both a strategic level - to set direction, and deep-dive into specific problems will be expected, and as a senior member of the team, you will be responsible for your own assignments. From day one and we trust that you drive and manage tasks to deliver great results – both for yourself and through others.
Job Responsibilities:
Example responsibilities of the role include:
This position is based in Copenhagen, Denmark with a hybrid working model allowing a blend of office and remote work.
