At a glance

Digital threats are evolving, and so are we. The world of banking demands the highest standards of security, especially as cyber attackers become more sophisticated. At our organization, we're constantly innovating to make digital banking as safe as possible. This role is crucial—there’s a lot at stake, and we need someone who can ensure our data remains secure.

Our IT security specialists are not just advisors; they’re mentors and leaders. Security wizards help design and run secure applications in a fast-paced DevOps environment. By embedding security early in the development process—known as the crucial "shift left"—we ensure our banking services are robust and resilient from the start.

Your job

In this dynamic position, you’ll play a key role in securing our IT landscape. You’ll collaborate with talented development teams, offering guidance and expertise to ensure information security is prioritized from the beginning of our banking products' lifecycle. This means engaging in continuous co-creation and practicing security by design.

You'll be working within ABN AMRO’s IT organization, a truly international environment with colleagues from around the globe. Regularly, you’ll interact with developers, product owners, grid owners, and other stakeholders across all business lines. Your ability to balance business needs with potential risks will be critical. When information security is on the line, you'll need to think quickly and creatively to find smart, effective solutions. 

This role offers the opportunity to engage with a wide range of technologies and tools, alongside a team of dedicated and skilled colleagues. The ever-changing nature of the digital world keeps the job challenging and interesting, fostering a continuous learning environment.

Our mission is to safeguard the bank's information security, working closely with IT teams to ensure secure infrastructure and applications. In our multinational team of over 90 employees, hierarchy takes a backseat to collaboration as we strive to fulfill our mission.

At ABN AMRO, we value continuous improvement. We understand our customers' needs, translate their goals into shared success, and earn their trust. We’re committed to clear communication and responsible banking, even if it means turning customers away when risks outweigh benefits.
