CADM Enterprise Architect Finance & Risk in Amsterdam

As an Enterprise Architect at Chief Architect & Data Management (CADM) you translate the strategic vision of the bank to different scenario's and then into an architecture that guides change for the entire bank. Your architecture functions as a reference and the so called dot on the horizon, in this case in the Finance & Risk domain.
Your profile fits the description of a highly skilled professional, a visionary and strategist on the Finance & Risk area.

You are a Finance & Risk architecture evangelist: someone who likes to make big impact, thinks in creative and innovative ways, and likes to inspire. Is this your next step? Tell us your story, we are curious!

•    flesh out your vision regarding Finance & Risk architectures,
•    taking the organisation’s and regulator’s requirements and frameworks into account;
