Do you have in-depth knowledge of annual reports and financial reporting, and would you like to use this expertise to elevate reporting within ABN AMRO to the next level? Then the role of Project Manager Financial Reporting (SBR) is an excellent opportunity.

In this position, you will help drive the further integration of SBR within Customer Data Solutions (CDS) and the Financial Statements as a Service (FSaaS) domain. Your expertise in annual reports and financial reporting will be essential to the success of this transformation.

Your job

Standard Business Reporting (SBR) Nexus provides the market standard for the exchange of business data. Through SBR Nexus standards, companies, organizations, and financial institutions can exchange data in a reliable and standardized manner.

As an Project Manager Financial Reporting, you will lead a key workstream within the Financial Statements as a Service (FSaaS) program. The primary focus is on structuring, standardizing, and digitizing annual report data. SBR is a crucial pillar in the ongoing digitalization, standardization, and efficiency improvement of reporting processes across the bank.

In this role, you will be responsible for the delivery, governance, and implementation of the SBR workstream. You will ensure that SBR is not only properly designed and implemented but also sustainably embedded within the organization’s day-to-day operations. You will manage KPI performance, further develop the principle that “SBR is the standard,” and actively promote the adoption of SBR throughout ABN AMRO.

In addition, you will develop the strategy for phasing out and automating the current way of working, while bringing together internal stakeholders around a shared vision and approach.

You are comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels and can translate complex challenges into concrete actions and sustainable improvements. You will work closely with internal and external stakeholders, including SBR Nexus, auditors, software vendors, and other banks. With your strong focus on governance, implementation, and adoption, you will help successfully anchor SBR within the CDS organization and make a visible contribution to the future of financial reporting at the bank.

Working environment

Customer Data Solutions plays a key role in organizing generic customer processes and customer data across the bank. Within this context, SBR Company Data will be positioned within the CDS organization, specifically within the Financial Statements as a Service (FSaaS) program. This team has the ambition to make annual report data available in a standardized, scalable, and future-proof manner.

You will join an environment characterized by close collaboration between business and IT, involving internal stakeholders, external chain partners, and data-driven teams. The workstream covers topics such as governance alignment, implementation, operational steering, taxonomy expertise, quality assurance, and the management of data quality and integrity.

Your profile

Are you a strong and experienced project manager who can translate complex challenges into tangible results? Do you combine substantive knowledge of financial reporting with strong execution and stakeholder management skills? In a dynamic environment, you bring structure, align interests, and deliver sustainable change.

You communicate effectively at all levels and know how to bring people along with your approach. With your proactive mindset and strong sense of ownership, you make an impact in a complex stakeholder landscape.

Key Requirements

• Academic (Master’s) level working and thinking capability, with the ability to quickly master complex subject matter.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to engage effectively with senior internal and external stakeholders.
• Proven experience leading complex initiatives and delivering successful outcomes.
• Knowledge of financial reporting, taxonomies, or XML reporting is required.
• Strong organizational skills, including preparing decision-making processes and facilitating workshops.
• Affinity with data, processes, IT, and digitalization, and the ability to translate these into practical implementation.
• Excellent communication skills in English (Dutch is considered a plus), combined with a proactive and results-oriented work style.

We are offering

We offer you the opportunity to become part of a team of professionals working on the continued professionalization of SBR, governance, and financial reporting processes within ABN AMRO. In this role, you will have ample opportunity to further develop your expertise in project management, change management, stakeholder management, and data-driven process improvement.

In addition, you can expect:

• A high degree of flexibility and strong support for your professional and personal development.
• A gross monthly salary based on a 36-hour work week (Hay level 10-12), depending on your knowledge, experience, and potential. This includes holiday allowance and a benefits budget. A 40-hour work week is also possible.
