Apply

We are currently looking for several QRM modelers /ALM specialists to join our Market Risk Management team. Feel free to apply if you have a few years experience in QRM, but also more senior candidates are more than welcome to apply!

As the Market Risk Management team of ING NL we are an energetic team of highly qualified professionals, responsible for managing the balance sheet of ING NL. We do this by hedging our interest rate and liquidity risks in close cooperation with the ING Group Treasury department. We maintain close relations with our business stakeholders, advise them on product and pricing changes and make them aware of all relevant (macro-economic) trends and consequences such as the developments of the interest rates in the market.

The Team

Our Market Risk Management team consists of about 30 experts, determined to advise our business stakeholders to deliver on our purpose to achieve sustainable progress for all. Client behaviour is crucial to us and we use lots of data to explore, model and forecast it with state-of-the-art modelling methods and technologies. The position offers excellent opportunities to broaden your market risk / asset & liability management and data analytics competencies while further developing your soft skills by advising and collaborating with our stakeholders. We work in an agile way and we believe that empowerment is crucial for you to flourish and be successful.

Besides our core ALM activities, our team is involved in strategic programs such as the full migration to the target ALM solution of ING Group built in QRM and the transfer of the mortgages administration to STATER. Hence, this position offers opportunities to contribute to these impactful change programs as well.
