- Develop and maintain in-depth knowledge of business and related risk management requirements, industry standards, and legislative/regulatory directives and guidance.
- Work independently and regularly handle highly complex situations. Broader work or accountabilities may be assigned as needed.
- Identify emerging issues and trends to inform decision-making.

What you should have:

- A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience at a bank, insurance company, asset manager, or other types of financial institution.
- A postgraduate degree or higher in a quantitative discipline such as finance, actuarial sciences, economics, statistics, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Demonstrated experience with capital adequacy assessment (ORSA / ICAAP) and/or stress testing.
- In-depth knowledge and understanding of risk management practices.
- In-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements and financial concepts.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong collaboration and team skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong ability to develop and drive data-driven decision-making.

- Programming skills in R, Python, PySparks, and DataBricks.
- Knowledge and experience in PowerBI.
