The Program Manager is the senior control-tower role for the engagement, owning SLA performance, vendor governance, and escalation management across both the performing-loan servicing stream and the modification/coordination stream. The role is the named point of contact for the bank's stakeholders and is responsible for recognizing when a file must be handed off to a BaFin-licensed credit servicer under the KrZwMG rather than continuing to be processed in-house.

• Collaborate with Account Management team for solution and Client request, challenges and esclations

• Oversee workflow allocation across the Document Coordinator, Operations Specialist, and Loan Coordinator functions

• Manage escalations, including files that must transition from performing-loan servicing into Intensivbetreuung, Sanierung, or Abwicklung-equivalent handling

• Maintain quality assurance oversight across all file types and audit readiness for BaFin/Bundesbank reporting cycles

• Serve as the liaison point for BaFin-related reporting cadence, coordinating documentation flow to the bank's licensed credit-servicer function where NPL-classified (KrZwMG) work applies

• Manage team coordination, budget, and headcount planning across the 20-FTE delivery model

   

Eligibility Requirements

• Deep mortgage domain expertise across servicing and extension/renewal processes

• Process and vendor management leadership, with experience running SLA-governed delivery teams

• German fluency at a business/native level

• Working knowledge of MaRisk Markt/Marktfolge governance principles and the KrZwMG licensed-credit-servicer boundary, to correctly route non-performing files

• Structured governance cadence discipline — daily operations reviews, weekly KPI reporting, monthly business reviews

• Bank-commercial training plus Bankfachwirt/Bankbetriebswirt certification, or an equivalent business/finance degree

• 5+ years of mortgage operations or outsourced-delivery vendor management experience

• German C1/native fluency; English business fluency for Madrid and global reporting lines

• Experience managing regulated financial-services delivery teams preferred
