Can you tell me about your journey with iPS Powerful People over the past ten years? How has your role evolved during this time?

Bianca: I started in October 2014 on a temporary contract with iPS as a Document Controller, focusing on reducing documents, in the meantime I was searching for another job as an Accounting Officer, but this was very difficult, after 7 months of working as a Document Controller, there was an open vacancy in the Backoffice Department and I started as a Backoffice Employee. The Backoffice department is the support department for all the commercial departments. In 2020, I got the opportunity to become the Senior of the Backoffice and in 2023 we changed the setup of the department and I become Manager Mid-Office.

What do you enjoy most about working at iPS Powerful People, and what keeps you motivated after 10 years?

Bianca: The most important thing for me is that I enjoy working at iPS are the colleagues but also when I start my working day I do not know how it looks like because we are a supporting department it depends on what the commercial departments wants us to do, but also that they give the opportunities to keep on developing yourself.
