You & your role

As a Digital Assets Strategy Consultant, you understand how digital assets could reshape financial products, market infrastructure and the role of financial institutions. You combine deep knowledge of the digital-assets ecosystem with strong strategic thinking and the ability to translate complex developments into compelling narratives and actionable recommendations.

You play a central role in developing Rabobank’s strategic direction across the broader digital-assets landscape. This includes wallets, stablecoins, tokenised deposits, deposit tokens, wholesale central bank digital currencies, the digital euro, crypto-assets and tokenised financial products. You also explore how these developments intersect with digital identity and artificial intelligence.

You analyse market, regulatory and technological developments, connect them to Rabobank’s broader strategic priorities and translate them into clear choices for senior decision-makers. Working closely with your Digital Assets and Stablecoin colleagues, you help transform domain expertise and long-term vision into compelling strategic narratives, scenarios, opportunity assessments and roadmaps.

You will work across the full digital-assets spectrum, with focus areas evolving as technologies, regulation, customer needs and market structures develop. You are comfortable navigating uncertainty, challenging existing assumptions and developing a perspective on developments that may fundamentally change banking.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape Rabobank’s position in the future of money, financial products and digital financial services.
