You and your job

We are seeking a highly motivated Business Architect Operational Risk & Integrity Services (ORIS). You will take up the combined role of Tribe Architect for the Tribe ORIS and Area Architect for the Area Operational Risk Platforms within that same Tribe. You will be responsible for the target and transition architecture at Tribe and Area level that supports the move to standardized and scalable solutions to manage our operational risks and ensure integrity.

You will be working in a challenging international environment with the mission to develop simplified, shared, and integrated IT and data platforms that enable Rabobank to manage and oversee its non-financial risks and to safeguard its integrity.

Your architecture will, where applicable, be based on standard (COTS) solutions and shared Rabobank platforms and only deviates where material requirements cannot be implemented in a standardized way. The enterprise-wide scope will make this challenge even bigger.

In your role as Tribe Architect, you manage the tribe together with the Tribe Lead and Tech Domain Lead. You will work closely together with the area architect, with who you align the tribe vision, realize the architecture strategy & roadmaps, and contribute to the tribe purpose.

And in your role as Area Architect, you manage the area together with the Area Lead and Tech Lead. Here you will work closely together with the solution architects within the area, with whom you align the area vision, realize the architecture strategy & roadmaps, and contribute to the area purpose.

You guide both teams towards the best results in a future-proof architecture, keep each other on their toes, and help each other where possible. You need to have the courage to challenge and develop yourself and your team. And because you don’t have hierarchical (HR) responsibility for the other architects in the team it’s all about your leadership and your collaborative and persuasive skills.

With your experience, insights, and skills, you will provide a great contribution to our business users; enabling them to manage and oversee the non-financial risk and to safeguard the integrity of our bank.
