Working environment

The Financial Risk Grid of ABN AMRO is a lively group of people within the Finance and Risk businesses of the bank. It makes sure that the ABN AMRO can report every piece of data that needs to land safely in the hands of our regulators. This grid is a mix of a deep combination of business and technology expertise that is challenging all of us every day of the week, and at times 24/7. If you come to work for the Financial Risk grid, you will realize how fun, ownership, responsibility, accuracy and drive quickly become your reality.

The Azure & PowerBI Chapter at Financial Risk will have about 8 members with various levels of experience. You will be working with some of the chapter members also in your team.

The key focus area of your block will be in and around regulatory reporting. We’re constantly changing within our chain of applications. We apply DevOps and own what we do in mindset, behavior, and execution: Whatever you do, you build it, you run it, you love it. Think of automate first, too. You report to the IT Lead who is also your sparring partner for challenges with regards to staffing or other bigger topics like architecture.

At ABN AMRO, we want to be a personal bank in a digital age. That strategy is also brought to life through how we work ourselves. We therefore want hybrid working to become the norm in our organization. This involves flexibly deciding where and when you can work most comfortably and effectively. Of course we offer you the right resources you need in order to set up a good home office. For example an ergonomic chair, desk and laptop.

As chapter lead, you will work in a fast paced and accessible environment. We love to share knowledge with and to challenge each other, for example by sharing our expertise in our blocks, during the events of our developer community and by organizing hackathons.
