Finance & Risk Management

Finance & Risk Management

It is unimaginable, but banks operated for years without a Risk Management department. Now, in 2024, this relatively young field is unimaginable within the bank setting. There is so much going on globally and in many different areas that the work of Risk Management is becoming more important every day. That alone is a very good reason to start working at Risk Management within ABN AMRO. But we have another four reasons.  

Managing risks from unexpected quarters  

At ABN AMRO, Risk Management is going through a major transformation as very challenging and diverse problems demand our attention. Financial risks, cyber risks, geopolitical developments, environmental risks and health risks are threatening the world and therefore the financial sector. Our work is adventurous. Risks can come from unexpected quarters. Consider, for example, the global, long-term impact of the corona virus. We therefore always keep a broad perspective and our work evolves daily. Together, we build on an all-encompassing vision for all these threats day in and day out.  

Dive into the story behind the numbers

At our bank, Risk Management is not about numbers. Numbers are just the beginning. What matters, of course, is the story behind them. We continuously tell this story of ambitions, opportunities and calculated risks to our colleagues and clients. Stories based on clear figures, a structured approach and objective analysis. This is how we create a safety net under all financial transactions and business decisions.

Operate at the heart of the bank

Risk Management is, literally and figuratively, the heart of the bank. We always look at the whole story and focus on the long term. Our heart is with healthy finances because they last the longest. No client's dream must become a nightmare.

Become an all-round banking professional

For all these reasons, you have a unique position within the bank. You will be in contact with colleagues from basically all departments, which means you learn an awful lot in a short time. Working at Risk Management will ensure you become an all-round banking professional incredibly quickly. With us, you will focus on what is happening outside but also inside, analyse numbers and tell a story, learn from the past and look to the future. This is also why we set much time aside for training and personal development.
