Are you the person that wants to connect “everything” together? Build and maintain the communication bridge between on-prem systems in our datacenters. Work to get connectivity services virtualised and automated with your team of DevOps engineers? Then check this job out.

As a Product Owner Network On Premise, you work together with the other Product Owners within the Network department and you stay in touch with our consumer community to understand what is needed. Together with your own DevOps team, you will develop a roadmap and drive the backlog for ABN AMRO’s Interconnectivity hub and ensure that it has a high degree of automation and integrates with other IT services pipelines to maximise value for the Bank and our consumers.

We expect you to create added value, align and connect with all stakeholders involved. We do not just deliver a product; therefore, you have to be able to empathise with our consumers and relevant stakeholders. You stick as much as possible to the committed incremental planning.
As the Product Owner Network On Premise, you have enough knowledge of Network technologies like routing, switching, and firewalls to understand where this can bring value for ABN AMRO. The in-depth knowledge of these topics is in your DevOps team, allowing you to focus on getting the backlog done and aligned with security restrictions.

You organise sessions with relevant stakeholders to ensure you deliver the right value. Infrastructure has intrinsic value on its own, and as a Product Owner, you will need to have knowledge of your network products and services to make it count for ABN AMRO.

Each Block has a Product Owner that drives the backlog on Development & Operations of the Services within that block. Network End User (NEU) drives the Office environment with WAN connectivity and WiFi. Network On-Prem drives the Data Center LAN environment and the traditional Security Perimeter functions. Network Interconnect (NIC) provides connectivity between Datacenter/Hosting Platforms and External parties (including SaaS). Network Design and Innovation (NDI) provides the HLD designs to support the other Blocks. Networks Services Operations team will handle all day-to-day service requests and act as the first point of contact on issues/outages. Network change and project team will execute day-to-day configuration changes needed by consumers.
