Non-Financial Risk Specialist

ABN AMRO Hypotheken Groep (AAHG) is expanding its 2nd line Risk Management organization. The AAHG Risk Management organization consists of three teams: Credit Risk, Information & Operational Risk (I&ORM) and the Risk Office. Together, as Entity Risk Type Owners (ERTO), we are responsible for risk control and risk oversight for all risks within AAHG.
Risk Office is looking for a senior risk manager to join the team. Can you navigate through complex changes, manage a large field of stakeholders in both 1st line and 2nd line and provide a holistic view on risks that matter? If so, you might be the senior risk manager we are looking for.

The organization is currently facing increasing regulatory expectations. As such, the workload has become higher and more expertise is required to maintain the overall risk and control framework.
Risk Office is responsible for risk control and risk oversight for a number of risk types within the Risk Taxonomy, such as sustainability risk, business risk and reputational risk. Also, Risk Office provides the Managing Board of AAHG and senior management of ABN AMRO with an integrated, holistic view on the most material risks within AAHG. As such, Risk Office plays an important role in keeping AAHG within the limits of the risk appetite. Furthermore, as owner of the AAHG Risk Governance Charter, Risk Office assures that AAHG acts within its mandate.

Your responsibilities:
• With your risk expertise, you contribute to risk assessments and regulatory (change) programs. You provide guidance to the 1st line to ensure risks are being identified, assessed, managed and reported in the entire Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) cycle.
• You independently provide concise and clear risk opinions (including recommendations and conditions) on relevant risk related matters. This ensures that the Managing Board of AAHG, the Global Product Approval Committee Home Financing (regarding Product Approval and Product Reviews) and the different AAHG risk committees can make informed decisions.
• As ERTO representative, you liaise between the relevant Risk Type Owners at ABN AMRO head office and 1st line Risk Type Experts within AAHG.
• You promote collaboration between the different 2nd line teams, the 1st line and management of both AAHG and ABN AMRO.
• You coordinate integrated 2nd line advices towards the different AAHG risk committees for all risk types.
• You contribute to the timely review of the AAHG risk governance arrangements, propose improvements where relevant and ensure that AAHG acts within its governance mandate.
• Support the business to implement and comply with internal risk policies, procedures and external regulatory requirements.
