Job description

At Rabobank, we believe that trusted data is the foundation of better decisions, stronger customer experiences and sustainable growth. As we continue our journey towards becoming an even more data-driven organisation, understanding where our data comes from, how it moves through the organisation, and how it creates value has never been more important.

To support this ambition, we are evolving our Enterprise Data Lineage Platform into a strategic capability that empowers both business and technology teams with greater transparency, insight and control. We are looking for a Business Analyst who is passionate about data governance, stakeholder engagement and organisational change to help drive this transformation.

This is not a traditional analyst role. You will play a key part in shaping the future of Data Lineage within Rabobank by helping stakeholders understand the value of lineage, increasing adoption across the organisation, and translating business needs into solutions that create measurable impact.

You & your role

You will join the team responsible for Rabobank's Enterprise Data Lineage Platform, a strategic product designed to accelerate time-to-market, improve transparency and enable trusted decision‑making across the bank.

As a Business Analyst, you are the bridge between business ambition and practical execution. You understand how organisations operate, how change is adopted, and how governance can enable innovation rather than slow it down. You will collaborate with a broad range of stakeholders to identify opportunities, drive adoption and ensure our Data Lineage Platform becomes an essential capability for business users, data professionals and decision‑makers throughout Rabobank.

Success in this role

requires a strong consultancy mindset, excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to translate complex topics into clear and compelling business value.

Examples from practice

• Act as a trusted advisor for business stakeholders, helping them understand and adopt Data Lineage and Data Governance capabilities.
• Identify opportunities to increase the value and adoption of the Data Lineage Platform across the organisation.
• Facilitate workshops, discovery sessions and stakeholder discussions to gather business needs and align on strategic objectives.
• Translate business challenges into clear functional requirements, user stories and improvement initiatives.
• Drive the go-to-market and adoption strategy of the platform by creating compelling business narratives, training materials and communication plans.
• Collaborate with business leaders, data owners, governance teams and operational stakeholders to improve transparency and accountability of data.
• Support organisational change initiatives related to data governance and lineage, ensuring successful implementation and sustainable adoption.
• Develop business‑focused visualisation concepts that make metadata and lineage information understandable and actionable for non‑technical audiences.
• Analyse feedback, adoption metrics and stakeholder needs to continuously improve the platform's value proposition and user experience.
• Help shape the future vision of Data Lineage at Rabobank by contributing to strategic roadmaps and innovation opportunities.
