You provide customized advice, follow up on questions from our clients and provide support in the discussions with accountants. You will support all our market groups.

  • Hedge accounting outsourcing (e.g., set-up hedge relations, ineffectiveness testing)
  • Development internal valuation tools (Python, Excel / VBA, FinCad F3)
  • Development internal processes regarding market data

As an expert in Financial Risk Management you will support our clients with:

  • Market and product development
  • The definition of best practices for our clients
  • Participate in the internal knowledge sessions and help provide (internal) training

Skills to be successful

Key assets to be successful are an understanding of financial instruments and strong communication and analytical skills. More specifically, you will need:

  • Master degree in econometrics, mathematical, quantitative finance or related comparable;
  • Interest in financial markets, quantitative modelling and derivatives;
  • A passion for content, problem solving and managing client needs;
  • Independent, flexible and able to manage several projects at the same time;
