Chapter Lead Non-Financial Risk

At a glance

Are you an Azure professional who enjoys combining technical depth with people leadership? Do you like findings solutions that actually work in a complex enterprise landscape? Then this role might be a great fit.

We are looking for a Chapter Lead Azure Platform within the Non-Financial Risk (NFR) Grid at ABN AMRO. You are responsible for strengthening the IT craftsmanship of our engineers while actively contributing to the direction of the Grid’s IT landscape. You help shape how we work with Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions, SaaS platforms and bespoke applications.

This role is about improving quality, making thoughtful technical choices, and helping people grow.

Your job

As Chapter Lead, you combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership and people responsibility. You will:

• Spend around half of your time working as an IT Engineer within your own scrum team, contributing to the design, implementation, and maintenance of our solutions,
• Take responsibility for the IT craftsmanship of your Chapter: helping engineers grow their skills, make better technical decisions (clean design, automation-first, etc.), and take pride in the quality of their work.
• Take responsibility for HR-related topics within your Chapter, such as onboarding, performance discussions, development planning, and team health.
• Contribute to defining and evolving the IT vision and landscape of the NFR Grid, together with Architects, Product Owners, and IT Leads.
• Help teams navigate a mixed landscape of custom-built systems, COTS packages, and SaaS implementations,
• Advocate for Agile, and DevOps practices, Quality Assurance and CI/CD, while staying pragmatic about what fits the context.
• Make trade-offs between innovation, stability, security, and maintainability.
• Help foster a safe, inclusive, and constructive working culture.
• Continuously develop your own knowledge and help the Chapter stay current with Azure and cloud-native developments.

You don’t need to have all the answers, but you do need to enjoy guiding others toward them.

Working environment

The Chapter consists of around 10 engineers with varying levels of experience. You will collaborate closely with several of them in your block. The focus of the block is ensuring that our Azure platforms, SaaS and COTS solutions run reliably, securely, and efficiently within the NFR domain. We continuously improve how we deploy, release, monitor, and automate our solutions, always looking for sensible ways to simplify and modernize.

You report to the IT Lead, who acts as your sparring partner on topics such as staffing, architecture, and long-term direction.

You’ll work in an international, diverse environment where openness, technical discussion, and learning from each other are valued.
