Product Owner - Adherence

At Rabobank we want to deliver the best possible services for our IT engineers, and you as Product Owner can play a central role in providing them.

Our area “Adherence” refers to mandatory compliance, risk, and security processes that keep the bank safe and secure. Our vision is to embed adherence seamlessly into the engineering and product journey, improving efficiency, transparency, and developer experience without compromising on control.

As a Product Owner within Area Adherence, you will play a key role in shaping and scaling the Adherence Data Platform that powers Nexa Actions and Nexa Insights, and in enabling straight-through onboarding (STP) for adherence topics across the Nexa ecosystem.

Your Area & Team

You will be part of a broader area consisting of Product Owners, Tech Leads, Solution Architects, and over 80 engineers, working together to support thousands of developers across Rabobank.

Team Calypso is responsible for:

• The Adherence Data Platform supplying Nexa Actions and Nexa Insights
• Straight-Through Processing (STP) for onboarding adherence topics owned by different teams
• Ensuring data quality, reliability, and consumption readiness for downstream products

Our services support 8,000+ engineers globally, making this role highly visible and impactful.

You & your role

As Product Owner, you are end-to-end accountable for the product vision, roadmap, prioritization, and outcomes of the Adherence Data Platform and STP onboarding flows. You focus on adoption and value, not just delivery.

• Shape the product vision and roadmap aligned with Area strategy and priorities
• Balance platform scalability with ease of adoption for topic owners and consumers
• Navigate a complex stakeholder landscape across Nexa products, topic owners, architecture, and compliance
• Drive standardization while allowing for domain-specific needs

You operate as part of the leadership of the area, working closely with the Squad Triangle (Tech Lead, Scrum Master, PO).
