Risk Manager

You and your job

As a Risk Manager Financial Markets you can make a difference by understanding how developments in the financial markets and initiatives taken by the business affect our risk exposures and risk framework. It all comes together, because you know the regulatory requirements, the applicable policies and business processes, the operational aspects that come with it, the data and systems used to analyse risks, the drivers in the methodologies used, the key risks on which we report, and the impact on our capital. You are responsible for reporting and writing policies as part of the framework for market- and counterparty credit risk at group level, but at the same time you liaise with risk managers in our financial markets hubs to understand their local requirements and the particularities in their operational processes. You are in contact with other risk departments, Markets and Treasury, but also with Finance, Product Control, Compliance, and will have exposure to regulators and supervisors.

The current job opening centers around the reporting-related tasks of the team. For these tasks we collaborate closely with a dedicated reporting department within Finance. Currently, we are exploring better ways to cover the reporting tasks. A plausible scenario is that you will be working for the reporting department within Finance in the near future.
