The Job / Responsibilities :

What does this job entail?

In our dealing rooms, large number numerous FX, bonds, equities and derivatives are traded on a daily basis. These activities involve certain financial risks that must be managed responsibly. As a Market Risk Manager, you will strengthen the team responsible for managing those risks. If you join us for a conversation, we will gladly explain how we:
• act as a partner for our dealing rooms, traders and sales dealers, using our expertise on trading market risk to their benefit;
• adapt, anticipate and stay up to date with any changes in our field of work;
• offer different stakeholders insights into risks via monitoring, analyses, advice, reporting and follow-ups;
• continuously improve our systems and processes with the help of technical experts and colleagues who think along with us on a conceptual level;
work together, moving forward as a single team while giving our staff members the room to organise their work independently.

What do we expect from you?

• You deepen your expertise in risk management, especially trading market risk.
• You contribute to our core activities: risk identification, measurement, analysis, reporting, and follow-up, ensuring business stakeholders and senior management are informed and able to assess their impact.
• You help ensure our control environment meets all standards.
• You follow developments in the financial markets.
• You support us in working in a more data-driven, better-connected and more digital manner — an important contribution to the transformation of the risk function within KBC.

Your profile :

• You hold a master’s degree or PhD in a strongly mathematical field and are now looking for a challenge where your analytical skills can shine.
• You enjoy continuous learning and taking initiative. You like diving into new topics, and financial markets interest you.
• You like working with tools such as Matlab, SAS, SQL or QlikSense, and are curious about our risk tooling. Knowledge of Python is a strong asset.
• Colleagues know you as someone who thinks conceptually, takes a pragmatic approach and enjoys collaborating.
• You communicate your insights clearly and convincingly and are fluent in Dutch and English.

People with different backgrounds enrich a team. If this role appeals to you, we would love to get to know you. Together, we will explore whether there is a good match!
