Risk Modelling Cluster Leader
At a glance
Measuring and effectively managing risks is key in banking. The need for modelling in core banking processes, including risk management, is expanding rapidly. New technologies, new data sources and data driven solutions create an enormous amount of opportunities. On the flip side, these opportunities result in competition from unexpected parties on a high pace. ABN AMRO intends to make a step forward by exploiting these new opportunities and strengthen the competitive position. Risk Modelling has the ambition to develop risk models that enable offering our clients a sustainable price that matches their risk profile. The team has the ambition to be leading and on the cutting edge.

Your working environment
ABN AMRO Risk Modelling is an international team of more than 90 professionals. We are the centre of excellence within the bank for developing quantitative risk models, which inform the bank in its daily decisions, from pricing of deals and granting of customer credits, through to setting and monitoring of market risk limits and determining the capital requirements for the bank.
The professionals in the ABN AMRO Risk Modelling department have diverse international backgrounds and form a young and dynamic team. The team enjoys intellectual challenges and “rolling up their sleeves” to get the job done. ABN AMRO offers an open atmosphere, in which mutual feedback leads to continuous improvement. Together with support from business and other stakeholders, we work to realize our ambitions in delivery and innovation.
Working at ABN AMRO means becoming even better at what you do. We understand clients, translate their ambitions into joint success and thus earn their trust. We want our clients to understand our products. This is why we sometimes say 'no' if the risk attached to a product is too great for the client. Serving the client's interests is also a question of offering – and communicating – a transparent range of products. Banking is our business, the world is our challenge.
