• Fluency in Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish is strongly preferred.
• A strong understanding of the investment management industry, including workflows and straight-through processing across asset managers, fund managers, wealth managers, and private banks.
• Experience with systems supporting portfolio management, portfolio and fund accounting, portfolio and client reporting, client relationship management, and trade order management.
• Ability to translate business requirements into practical, client-focused technology solutions.
• Experience contributing to proposals, demonstrations, workshops, and client-facing solution discussions.

Financial and Industry Knowledge

• Understanding of financial instruments including equities, bonds, private equity, options, funds, futures, and foreign exchange.
• Ability to build business cases, articulate value propositions, and perform return-on-investment analysis.
• Knowledge of portfolio management, portfolio accounting, performance measurement, trading and order management, compliance, and portfolio modelling.

Technical Skills

• Strong working knowledge of modern enterprise technology environments, including cloud-native architectures, SaaS platforms, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office, integration tools, reporting tools, and web-based technologies.
• Understanding of cloud concepts such as scalability, resilience, security, data privacy, APIs, microservices, and platform interoperability.
• Experience supporting or implementing complex software solutions in client environments, including cloud-hosted, hybrid, or enterprise deployment models.
• Ability to discuss data integration, workflow automation, analytics, and reporting requirements with both business and technical stakeholders.
• Awareness of artificial intelligence and automation technologies, including practical use cases for AI-assisted workflows, intelligent data analysis, operational efficiency, and client-facing insight generation.
