The listing
Senior Specialist, T2 (Target2) Payment Operations
Location: Remote in Netherlands, Spain, Cyprus or Poland
The role
We’re moving from indirect to direct participation in TARGET2 (T2), and we need someone to own the operational side end to end. You’ll design and document the Payment Operations processes, validate them in the August UAT, cut over BIC by BIC, and then run them as business-as-usual. You’ll be the operational contact for the T2 scheme, DNB and our partner banks.
What you’ll do
- Own core payment processes: SCT / SCT Inst recalls, investigations (including pacs.028), SWIFT enquiries (MT199/MT999, RFIs), missing or incoming funds, and rejects, returns and refunds.
- Run the T2 platform day to day: work in the T2 GUI (U2A/A2A), maintain CRDM reference data, and set up four-eyes controls and the manual-vs-automated split.
- Manage the migration: move traffic from BNP Paribas to direct participation, with every payment traceable by BIC and path, and define when each BNPP-dependent step can be retired.
- Cover reconciliation and liquidity: be the Payment Ops link to the reconciliation team (funding and defunding stay with Finance Ops/Treasury).
- Handle incidents and contingency: build the incident process around DNB, FIS and TARGET escalation routes, own Payment Ops’ role in DNB reporting, and define the ECONS II contingency approach.
- Coordinate with others: work with the Eurosystem, DNB, SWIFT/NEXI, FIS and correspondent banks, and partner with Product and Engineering to specify how the platform should behave.
What success looks like
- Every direct-participation process has an owner, documented procedures, and passing UAT evidence.
- The migration causes no impact on customers, and Customer Support has clear guidance.
- After go-live, T2 runs as stable BAU with no remaining BNPP operational dependency.
What we’re looking for
- Hands-on experience with T2 / TARGET Services (RTGS, TIPS), including the GUI and U2A/A2A actions
- Around 2-3+ years in payment operations at a bank, EMI or PSP, ideally with SEPA schemes (SCT, SCT Inst)
- Familiarity with investigations, recalls, returns and SWIFT / ISO 20022 messaging
- Experience writing SOPs and controls, or the ability to pick it up quickly
- Comfort working with regulators, partners and technical teams
- Enough ownership to make sign-off and escalation decisions with support from the team
- Fluent English
Nice to have
- Experience with CRDM reference-data maintenance
- Involvement in a direct-participation onboarding or sponsor-bank migration
- Knowledge of DNB / TARGET-NL conditions, IPR, PSD2, or ECONS II contingency processes
