Job Description

You know that reliability, quality and consistency are key to a fantastic customer experience. Teams stuck in cumbersome organizational and DevOps processes are unable to achieve this. It is your mission to relieve creator squads with all the Rabo Online Platform enablement services, by ensuring a great engineering journey.   

To do so, you are owner of the ROP portal, where you facilitate the digital part of the engineering journey and you are leading the creator success team, to ensure enablement and support. Together these teams are in the mission of unlocking the full potential of Rabo Online Platform (ROP). For the portal you create the vision on the engineer journey and adjust it according to feedback within the portal or via the creator success team. The creator success team accelerates platform adoption, improves creator experience, and drives value delivery across more than 160 internal DevOps teams. Creators are all roles that contribute to the creation of digital experiences and products on Rabobank’s digital channels, such as Rabobank.nl and the Rabo App. Your mission is to empower the ROP organization by providing clear focus and boosting engagement.
