About the Job 

We are looking for a Capability Lead for Corporate Process Governance (CPG) to shape the future of how Allianz Technology designs, governs, and continuously improves its global processes. This is a unique opportunity to combine people leadership with content ownership in a role that sits at the heart of transformation.

You will be responsible for driving governance, compliance, and harmonization across our global process landscape — ensuring structure, transparency, and resilience while enabling innovation and change. Most importantly, we are looking for someone with the mindset to own, inspire, and deliver: positive, driven, transformation-oriented, and execution-strong.

If you thrive on turning complexity into clarity, enabling collaboration across stakeholders worldwide, and leading a team with purpose — this is your next step.

What you do

• Define, implement, and enhance the Corporate Process Governance & Management Framework, aligning with the Allianz Target Operating Model (AZ TOM) and governing the Global Process Blueprint for harmonization across business and technology functions.
• Lead and inspire the Corporate Process Governance team, establishing clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability structures, while fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Set standards, methodologies, and policies for process design, modeling, and implementation, driving Continuous Process Improvement initiatives across Allianz Technology.
• Ensure compliance and control mechanisms are embedded in process execution, monitoring, and optimization, leading the design and rollout of the new Standard for Process Implementation.
• Guide and assess branches in adopting and implementing global process standards, ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements such as DORA.
• Act as a strong partner and influencer for local and global stakeholders, enabling transformation and driving process maturity.
• Align process governance with business and regulatory requirements, ensuring effective implementation and continuous enhancement.

What you bring

• 5+ years’ experience in process governance/management, or business transformation.
• Strong understanding of governance models, frameworks and methodologies.
• Strategic thinker with strong problem-solving and structuring skills with the ability to lead and inspire teams, driving ownership and accountability.
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across cultures and geographies.
• Experience managing transformation initiatives with a passion for transformation, innovation and enabling positive change.
• Curiosity and adaptability to understand and leverage new technologies.
• Experience in regulatory compliance is a plus (DORA or similar operational resilience regulations) with certifications in ITIL, BPM, or Process Governance as a plus.
• Basic knowledge of AI technologies, principles, and their practical use.

What we offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
• From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
• Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
