Junior Risk Manager
Are you up for a challenge as a junior risk manager? Do you enjoy guiding processes and ensuring the organisation is 'In control'? Do you see yourself working for an international mortgage organisation? If so, then this position might be a perfect fit for you!
What you’ll do
As a junior risk manager, you will translate risk management frameworks into policies and guidelines regarding the identification, analysis and control of risks. You’ll also provide assurance within the organisation about the compliance and/or operation of the management measures taken.
Activities broadly consist of consumer financial advice and intermediation, mortgage lending and portfolio insourcing. The portfolio includes 250,000 loans and is supervised by national and international financial institutions. So there is plenty of opportunity!
In summary, as a junior risk manager:
- You are part of a professional risk management team consisting of 10 FTEs.
- You and your team serve as the central point of contact and report to various stakeholders.
- You ensure a sustainable risk management framework for the organisation and its subsidiaries.
- You provide proactive advice and insight into financial and non-financial risks.
- You manage all assurance activities within the group, including external assurance activities (such as ISAE 3402 or similar engagements).
This is you
As a junior risk manager, you combine a critical and independent mindset with a proactive hands-on mentality. You are a team player who easily adapts to new situations. The organisation is growing and evolving, and you thrive in such a work environment. You think in terms of solutions and know what, when, and how to delegate. You have strong communication skills, can prioritize effectively, and are quick to adapt. Converting analyses into risk reports that inform and engage stakeholders resonates with you.
In addition:
- You have completed a university degree.
- You have demonstrated affinity with risk and working in the financial sector.
- You are fluent in both Dutch and English (currently, the main language is predominantly Dutch, but this is changing due to international expansion – there are already 70 colleagues working in Tunisia).
