Are you a professional who enjoys working on the interface between content and IT? Are you able to fathom complex matters in order to make the right translation between business and IT? Do you get energy from advising and convincing stakeholders of your proposals, and are you able to show execution power during implementation? Then this role might be the perfect match for you!

At ABN AMRO we are looking for a hands-on, results-driven Business Analyst / Data Analyst to join our Grid Asset & Liability Management (ALM) department. ALM can be described as a bank within the bank, as our department sits at the heart of the bank and is responsible for managing the bank’s balance sheet in terms of interest rate, liquidity, and capital risks.

You’ll be joining a team of versatile engineers and business developers, and together you will be responsible for managing and improving ALM processes and applications in an Agile and DevOps environment to deliver insights and reports for our stakeholders, who include the Board of Directors and other business segments of the bank, as well as external supervisory authorities like the DNB and ECB.

Your job

We help our business colleagues manage liquidity risk centrally and allow them to answer important questions like "is our liquidity buffer enough?". 

As a Business Analyst / Data Analyst, you are able to look at ALM challenges through the eyes of a stakeholder and come up with proposals to initiate, organize and realize the systems, processes and data that your DevOps team is responsible for. You will be able to advise and convince stakeholders of the best approach based on your knowledge and analytical expertise, and work closely with other business developers to achieve larger goals across different teams for the bank's ALM department.

Working environment

The Grid ALM department is a diverse, dynamic and international environment, so an excellent understanding of English is an absolute must. We have an open and social culture and value interpersonal at least as much as business and technical skills. You will get to work in:

• One of the most innovative and front-running departments of ABN AMRO that takes pride in delivering robust and manageable future-proof solutions using the latest IT standards and technologies
• A multidisciplinary and multicultural self-organizing Agile-Scrum DevOps team (typically 5-9 people per team) that enjoys close cooperation with its stakeholders
• An open and highly autonomous culture where you are responsible for your goals and encouraged to regularly give and receive feedback
• An informal atmosphere with plenty of room for fun (movie/gaming events, monthly drinks & team outings)

Your profile

We are looking for someone with a proactive and constructively critical attitude who is not afraid to tackle challenges head on. Besides a healthy knowledge/interest in complex and analytical matters (which characterizes ALM), you should possess the following skill-set:            

Mandatory:

• A basic understanding of finance
• Experienced with Excel, SQL and/or similar data analysis tools
• Ability to quickly grasp complex business flows at a high level
• Analytical mindset and willing to gain/expand Finance & Risk domain knowledge
• Willing to present and participate in workshops to exchange ideas and learn from each other
• Strong communicator with excellent command of English (both verbal and written)
• Supporting and collaborating with stakeholders and other departments
• Taking ownership and solving problems together with the team
• Able to work independently and stand firmly on your feet
• Have the drive to help and coach your teammates

Nice-to-have:

• Knowledge of banking products and/or ALM processes is highly appreciated
• Ability to manage projects and guide the development team in the right direction
• Able to focus on the ultimate goal and work effectively towards it with those involved
• Experience with the Microsoft Azure platform
• Familiarity with ETL and data processes
• Data visualization tools like Power BI
• A feeling for organizational dynamics

We are offering

A challenging environment offering you the possibility to develop yourself, both context wise regarding the ALM field of expertise, as well as on personal/ professional level. You will work in the heart of the bank where it all comes together.

• The opportunity to be the best you can be, work flexible hours and lots of room to grow both personally and professionally
• A personal development budget of EUR 1.000 per year
• An annual public transportation pass, depending on the function
• A solid pension plan
