You reinforce the Risk Measurement team that is part of our Data Quality Management (DQM) department. It’s a strong team of young and more experienced risk analysts that will welcome you with open arms. The importance of data quality has increased enormously in recent years and data management has become one of the most exciting domains in the financial industry. At DQM we are at the heart of KBC's data-driven strategy and are responsible for ensuring that KBC delivers top quality reports to national and international regulators. It’s an inspiring, international context, as DQM works with all entities of the KBC group to produce more than 4500 reports. Together with the Group Risk Competence Centers your team is responsible for KBC Group's asset & liability management (ALM), liquidity & insurance risk management. **What do we expect from you?**: - You measure and monitor ALM risks. You report them to senior management so that they can make the right decisions. You are also in contact with the ECB and NBB. - You analyse large quantities of data to correctly determine the ALM risk profile. - You are constantly looking for ways to present complex matters in a manageable, attractive way, thereby increasing your impact on the decision-making process. - You are involved in the implementation of a new strategic solution for group-wide ALM risk measurement and reporting. - You think about innovations within and optimizations of our risk measurement process.
