IT Risk Expert
IT Risk Expert (1st line)
Embark on a transformative journey with our team as a IT Risk Expert, where your expertise is crucial in our IT risk & control frameworks. In this pivotal role, you're not just a subject matter expert; you're a consultant, an advisor, and a team player, crafting and leading the activities that redefine how we manage IT risk and control.
Imagine a position where your day-to-day efforts directly influence the 1st line risk management activities of Rabobank's IT department, where collaboration with a team of dedicated professionals is not just encouraged but essential to our collective success.
You are part of a team whose mandate is to oversee the General IT Controls (GITC) lifecycle, align stakeholders including External Auditors, and drive continuous improvement across risk control execution, without owning risks or controls. By embedding and coordinating consistent execution, automation and quality oversight you ensure the control structure can adapt and scale in response to new regulatory demands.
In order to achieve our strategic ambitions we are looking to expand the team with an IT Risk Expert.
36 hours per week

Within Rabobank's CITO (Chief Innovation & Technology Office), there’s a community with over 150 first-line risk & control colleagues. You'll join the Control Office, a team of ca. 30 professionals dedicated to IT risk and control management whose purpose it is to “strengthen, simplify, and safeguard the control environment for innovation and technology to enable secure, seamless banking anytime, anywhere. We act as a central hub, connecting various IT divisions and ensuring the alignment of IT activities with overarching risk and compliance policies”.
The Control Office is the crucial link between IT, the business, and external stakeholders, including regulators like the ECB. This involves not only monitoring and reporting but also proactive risk management and guiding the organization through regulatory compliance. We foster a collaborative and supportive environment, characterized by open communication and a shared commitment to excellence. Our team values both professional expertise and a friendly, approachable work atmosphere.
