You and your job
We, the Business Intelligence (BI) area of the bank, develop sustainable and high-quality one source of truth information and self-service products to support the Know Your Customer (KYC) domain in its data-driven work. Together with you, we make this possible. Rapid developments and digitalization offer loads of opportunities to provide our stakeholders with valuable insights through management information, dashboarding and analytics.

You create the overall technical vision of the solutions we provide for business issues. You are aware of the challenges to get complex chains working that go beyond the purview of a single program and you are capable of getting them to work.

Practical Examples
• You will, together with our KYC Squads work closely on designing, building, maintaining and improving our BI KYC Information Factories. The insights these factories produce range from insights in the progress of our investigations to insights on the status of our risk appetite as a bank.
• You will collaborate closely with the other architecture teams to ensure there is a good architectural fit with both the Data & Analytics Architecture and the KYC Tech Architecture.
• You will work on enabling self service BI for our KYC Information Factories.
• You will collaborate with your co-architects in the BI area to work on the continuous development and improvement of our BI architecture.

We believe in the power of difference. Bringing together people's differences is what makes us an even better bank. So we are very curious about what you can bring to our team at Business Intelligence.
