Customer Journey Expert (Availability Management Squad)

For ING Wholesale Banking (WB) Tribe Lending we are looking for a Customer Journey Expert for our Availability Management squad located in Amsterdam. This squad is part of the Client Services and Reporting area in Tribe Lending. The goal of this area is to enabling a stable core platform with straight through processing of client services request and real time reporting.

Within ING we have embarked on our Accelerate Think Forward journey to build the next generation digital bank. We strive to provide (beyond) banking services which are personal, relevant, instant and seamless. We have always been at the forefront of providing new innovative services and exploring new technologies. At this moment we see a lack of automation, standardisation and scalability in the processing of transactional data and service requests via our Lending core systems. Ideally all our client service request and transactional data will be automatically processed via different channels and interfaces that reduces handling time for our customers and users and increases efficiency of repetitive/manual activities and help us to scale our services on a global scale. The purpose of the Availability Management squad is to deliver on the availability management vision to handle cross product Lending limits and collateral towards the global operating platforms on a real time basis.

Are you the right person to lead this journey and reach this vision?
