Shape the future of Environmental Commodity Markets

Rabobank is expanding the mandate of Rabo Carbon Bank beyond Voluntary Carbon Credits into a broader range of Environmental Commodities, including Guarantees of Origin (GOOs), biomethane certificates and other environmental instruments. To support this strategic ambition, we are looking for an experienced Business Analyst who can assess the feasibility and viability of integrating these products into the bank's existing Markets infrastructure.

The primary objective of this strategic initiative is to determine how Environmental Commodities can be supported within Rabobank's current technology and operational landscape, with Murex expected to play a central role. Alternative solutions may also be considered where appropriate.

By the end of Q1, the project must deliver a roadmap outlining:

• Required investments and budget implications
• Target architecture and integration approach 
• Implementation timelines and milestones
• Required business, technology and operational capabilities
• Stakeholders involved across Markets, Carbon Bank, Risk, Finance, Operations and Technology

This project sits at the intersection of sustainability, innovation and financial markets and will help shape Rabobank's future position within Environmental Commodity Markets.

As Business Analyst, you will act as the bridge between business stakeholders, technology teams and delivery partners. You will analyse current and future state processes, assess platform capabilities and define clear business and functional requirements that enable informed decision-making.
