Innovation Manager Digital Assets
Tokenization will transform the value chain in financial services. A large part of the financial markets infrastructure will change and move on the “digital railway”. Digital Assets and Tokenization are set to accelerate in the next 5 years, supported by new capital markets infrastructures and transparency-driven products & services. ABN AMRO has been internationally recognized for groundbreaking innovations in capital markets, being the first Dutch bank to register a Digital Green Bond on a public blockchain network and the first European bank to issue a digital bond for a mid corporate client.
Do you have what it takes to help us accelerate in our Digital Assets journey? Do you have what it takes to help us scale and extend our tokenized securities value propositions, unlocking the power of public blockchain networks and become a future proof bank? Then we are looking for you!
As Innovation Manager Digital Assets you will:
- Follow the market initiatives and help create the strategy for ABN AMRO in the Digital Assets market
