International Talent Program - CIO

Are you a young graduate with global ambitions eager to develop your leadership potential?

ING offers you the chance to make the absolute most of your talent on a traineeship within the bank: the International Talent Programme (ITP). During the traineeship ING will invest in your future now to develop the leaders of tomorrow.

At the beginning of your traineeship you’ll rotate between different projects and departments within your track. After your rotations, you get to choose your long term position based on your experience and area of interest.

What we offer/ What makes this traineeship awesome

This is a comprehensive programme that provides talented graduates with the knowledge, skills and on-the-job experience to become ING’s future leaders. We offer you the chance to shape your own ideas about banking in a receptive environment.

The programme is truly international with over 100 trainees in 14 different countries. For each year of the programme there will be a global event designed as a bootcamp to develop your personal skill in the process.

What your first 6-month rotation will let you focus on

• Support on end-to-end sourcing initiatives (RFI, RFQ/RFP) including gathering requirements, market research, evaluating proposals, decision processes (TCO analysis, scenario analysis, etc.), conduct negotiation and awarding
• Support vendor relationship management, performance tracking, issue management and resolution while facilitating supplier review and continuous improvement
• Assisting in identifying, evaluating, and selecting suppliers
• Supporting the execution of sourcing strategies
• Helping in defining quality and quantity metrics
• Assisting in identifying, evaluating, and selecting suppliers
• Build relationships with vendors and key suppliers
• Execute analysis and make suggestions for improvement of overall sourcing engagements, creating Dashboard for management of the assessments and the performance of suppliers
• Adhere to all relevant guidelines and regulations.

This Sourcing role is a stepping stone to more senior roles within the sourcing department. It provides an opportunity to learn about the company’s sourcing processes and strategies, and to develop skills in supplier evaluation, contract negotiation, and risk management. As a junior role, it often involves learning from and supporting more experienced team members.

What about your second rotation

With these new experiences and contacts, you are in charge to arrange your second rotation. Now it comes down to addressing your network and taking the initiative, also for an international experience that could be relevant for your personal and professional development. 

Your second year

After two rotations, you now have a better understanding of which direction you would like to go and are ready to choose your third rotation. Are you broadening your knowledge within your track, or would you like to explore an area within another track? Both are an option for this rotation!

During your third rotation you will set the stage for your fixed position, or in another position of your interest among the available opportunities within ING.

Global events. Access to yearly 2-3 weeks global events with other ING International Talent Programme talents from all around the world.

Job rotations. Insights in various business units during the first 18 months and work abroad into one of our ING countries for 3 - 6 months. (if circumstances allow)
