ING

Change Expert Support & Operations Data Products (JG 16)

CDR (Amsterdam - Cedar) Full time

As a technology-enabled and digital-led bank, data is at the heart of everything we do. It powers how we measure risk, assess performance, and make decisions. To ensure we unlock the full value of our data, we must guarantee its completeness, accuracy, auditability, traceability, and protection. The Global Data Organisation serves as the first line of defense in securing robust data chains, working in close collaboration with all functions, business lines, and countries across the Bank.

The Global Chief Data Office (CDO) plays a pivotal role in this mission. As a central organizational unit, the CDO partners with stakeholders across the enterprise to enable frictionless customer journeys, support ESG-driven innovation, and deliver data products that enhance decision-making. With emerging trends such as digital wallets on the horizon and increasing regulatory expectations around data governance, the CDO is evolving to meet these challenges head-on, ensuring our data remains both a strategic asset and a safeguarded resource.

The opportunity

Expertise Data Products is the place where the global data strategy on how data is made available, transformed, and consumed gets defined, designed and delivered. Making high-quality data available across ING requires a world-class data platform as well as data delivery capabilities as a part of the broader CDMO organization.

Now that ING has transitioned from the ‘Making the difference’ strategy towards ‘Growing the difference’, we also see the need for the CDO Organization to take the next step in maturing our organizational set up to meet the 1] additional expectations of our commercial partners and 2] the longer-term implementation plans regarding data safety and privacy urge to step up our transformation capabilities as well as satisfy the regulators and 3] advance on the implementation of harmonized technology solutions and corresponding processes to be able to reap the benefits of scalable operations. As a Change Expert, you will report into the Global Center of Expertise Data Product you will be one of the key contributors to deliver on its purpose.

In ING the need for fast, high quality and well governed data is ever growing.  For local use to support our business but also for our global programs to comply with regulatory demand.
