Every project you work on has an impact due to your ability to combine analysis and action. Besides, you contribute to service excellence for both our clients and our colleagues.

Your job

Every day is different, and your role and input will vary per assignment. Initiating, implementing and evaluating are all within your skillset. You keep up to date with trends and developments inside and outside our bank. It is your job to translate these trends and developments into valuable strategic initiatives and subsequently, into concrete advice that will enable our bank to improve and grow. You work on assignments throughout the I&T organization of ABN AMRO and you cooperate with colleagues from different business lines and functions. I&T provides innovative digital services. Through digitization, automation and process optimization, we aim to deliver digital convenience, a quick speed-to-market and a competitive cost ratio. As the biggest outsourcing partner within the Netherlands, you will also work alongside many of the world’s top (IT and non-IT) service providers.
As a Management Consultant, you may be involved in initiating, structuring or implementing a large change program. You could also work on building a more detailed sustainability vision or supporting the management team of I&T to prioritize their project portfolio. Each and every project will have a unique setting. In some projects, you will take the lead and in others, you may perform a supporting role. Our overall goal is to support our organization in making difficult choices, guide complex implementation trajectories and ensure our colleagues are working in alignment with our shared vision.
In addition to day-to-day delivery, you will be encouraged to take time to reflect and actively work on your personal development. You are in charge! We provide support, but it is up to you and your team to get moving.
