Tribe Business Lending supports business clients with financial solutions, such as loans, credit facilities, lease and factoring solutions. It is easy to understand that Business Lending not only plays a crucial role for Rabobank, but also for the whole Dutch economy and society.

Mid 2024 the strategy for Business Lending has been recalibrated. The overall goal is to become ‘ahead of the market’. 80% of our client request should be handled through fast and seamless digital journeys. Simplification and standardization are crucial to achieve this goal. This requires a huge change, also for tech.

To achieve this change, we set up TBL Next. TBL Next focuses on the following topics:

• People & behaviour: this transition requires change leadership, by driving the change, take ownership, put the customer first and making decisions;
• Operational excellence: introducing one way of working for the whole tribe, including clear roles and responsibilities;
• A new tribe setup, with reduction of interdependencies and supporting the ambition we have set;
• Future fit tech landscape: defining the new tech landscape, that supports the ambition. With a focus on buy instead of build.

Per May 1 the new tribe setup of Business Lending will be in place. The new tribe setup consists of several subarea’s within areas. For each subarea we strive for a combination of two Tech Leads. Both Tech Leads report to the Senior Tech Lead, who is heading the tech part of the area.

Within the Tech domain Business Lending we have vacancies for Tech Leads, at scale 10-11. The ambition is to have a balanced team, with colleagues who have the energy to realize the common goal of improving the Business Lending journeys.
