Your job
As a data scientist you will work on multiple projects and do this with other Data Scientists in the team, where you will often take a leading role.

Ad-hoc statistical analysis for senior management.
Stakeholder management to make your projects a success, where stakeholders could be based in one of our offices in APAC, Europe, the US, or Brazil.
Presenting your end-to-end data science solutions to a broad non-technical audience.
Translating business use cases where we can apply innovative models such as GPT/large language models.
The aim is to put models to production and for this we have supporting infrastructure to do so. With 6.2 billion transactions being cleared annually and with peak volumes of up to 51 million transactions per day, ABN AMRO Clearing produces a lot of data. In other words, lots of possibilities to do relevant and meaningful work for a data science professional.
