Job Description
Are you passionate about managing financial risks and working with data? This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in the interesting and rapidly evolving field of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks.

We also stay updated on regulations like the EBA Guidelines (EBA/GL/2025/01) and ESG Scenario Analyses (EBA/GL/2025/02) and directly engage with regulators on these topics.

We value strong motivation for risk management and regulatory understanding together with a basic technical skill set for quantitative data analyses over motivation for applying advanced machine learning techniques.
We are excited about the possibility of working together with you to advance the Group’s ESG risk profile, reporting solutions and developing impactful risk management solutions.
