Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for data products and AI? Do you want to play a pivotal role in shaping the Rabobank data and AI landscape of the future? Then we have the opportunity for you!

You and your job:
Data and AI are becoming the foundation of how we create value, deliver services, and make decisions. To accelerate this transformation, we are expanding our Data & Analytics architecture team with multiple Business Architects who can help design and implement the next generation of our enterprise data and AI capabilities.

We are looking for architects who combine business understanding with deep knowledge of data, AI, and analytics—and who enjoy turning complexity into clarity.

Your impact:
As a Business Architect in our Data & Analytics domain, you will:
• Define the target architectures for your area of expertise in cooperation and alignment with domain architects and enterprise architects
• Guide teams in adopting enterprise standards and modern technology, defining and applying (standardised) architecture patterns.
• Lead and steer as part of the area leadership team and support product delivery with a strong architecture vision and roadmap
• Ensure our data and AI products are scalable, compliant, and delivering real business value

Choose the specialization that fits your strengths
We are strengthening several areas and will shape the exact role based on your expertise and ambitions. You can make impact in one or more of the following specializations:

Data as a product:
Applying product thinking to data products, simplifying and standardizing how we access, share, and manage data. Ensuring data is trusted, discoverable and easy to use, and translating this to concrete enterprise-level implementation standards.

Advanced analytics products:
Focusing on reusable analytics solutions, such as machine learning models and (generative) AI solutions. This area contains strong technology components, such as knowledge graphs to enable entity resolution and to ground AI agents, but it also requires deep understanding on how AI can transform business processes and how we can govern AI to scale the technology in a responsible way.

Depending on your expertise and strength, you will take up the role of area architect in the area with the best fit. You will coach and guide the solution architects within the area, with whom you align the area vision, realize the architecture strategy & roadmaps, and contribute to our purpose. You need to have the courage to challenge and develop yourself even when you and your team make a mistake. The important part is that you (and your team) learn from that and grow.

With your experience, insights, and skills, you will provide a great contribution to our business users; enabling them unlock value from data faster and better.

Practical examples:
• Create and communicate an architecture vision on data products for AI-ready data, aligning with business stakeholders, architects and the Chapter Global Data Management
• Collaborate with business architects across the bank to shape a future-proof data and AI platform
• Mentor and coach a team of solution architects within your area

Together we set the direction for the capabilities of the Global Data & Analytics Platform and the Data & Analytics Products & Transformation Tribes. We work closely with the Solution Architects from Tech4D&A. We collectively believe that architecture should be owned by the teams and we actively work towards this goal.
