Strategy Advisor - Data & AI

Bring your consulting toolkit. Stay to see the strategy become reality.

Move from advising organisations on Data & AI transformation to shaping and delivering it inside one of the Netherlands’ leading banks. You will work on high-priority strategic questions, influence enterprise decisions and remain involved as choices become roadmaps, operating models and measurable change.

Data and AI are changing customer expectations, business models and how organisations make decisions. For ABN AMRO, success requires clear strategic choices, enterprise-wide capabilities and responsible execution.

As Strategy Advisor - Data & AI, you will join the Governance & Strategy team within the Central Data & AI Office (CDAO). Working closely with the Chief Data & AI Officer and senior leaders, you will structure ambiguous questions, develop distinctive perspectives, create executive alignment and translate decisions into action. The role combines the intellectual challenge and variety of strategy consulting with sustained ownership of outcomes.

What you will do

• Lead or shape strategic assignments at the intersection of business strategy, data, AI, technology, risk and regulation.
• Turn complex analysis into clear choices, recommendations and decision-ready narratives for senior leadership.
• Define enterprise direction, capability roadmaps and operating models for responsible Data & AI adoption.
• Mobilise multidisciplinary teams across business lines, data domains, technology, risk, legal and compliance.
• Assess market, technology and regulatory developments and translate them into implications for ABN AMRO.
• Stay engaged beyond the recommendation, helping convert strategic decisions into priorities, ownership and executable change.

Questions you may help answer

• Where can data and AI create meaningful and sustainable value for customers and the bank?
• Which capabilities are needed to adopt generative and agentic AI responsibly and at scale?
• How should accountabilities across business, data and technology work in a federated Data & AI landscape?
• How can high-quality, well-governed data be made available for analytics and AI?
• How should the bank use and govern unstructured data, including documents, text, voice and images?
• How can ABN AMRO accelerate innovation while meeting regulatory, ethical, security and risk requirements?

Examples of assignments

• Define the enterprise direction and capability roadmap for scaling generative and agentic AI responsibly.
• Design accountabilities and an operating model for a strategic Data & AI capability.
• Develop strategic choices, an investment case and a transformation roadmap for responsible use of unstructured data.
• Assess an external technology or regulatory development and prepare clear choices for senior leadership.

What success looks like

• Executives can make faster, better-informed decisions because choices and trade-offs are clear.
• Business, technology, data, risk and governance align without losing strategic focus.
• Strategic recommendations become funded roadmaps, accountable ownership and practical implementation.
• High-priority Data & AI initiatives build momentum and create material enterprise value.
