Job Description

Would you like to learn how to turn complex credit risk data into reliable regulatory reporting as a Junior Finance & Risk Analyst?

Summary

As a Junior Finance & Risk Analyst at Rabobank, you will learn credit risk reporting in practice and contribute to reliable information used by the bank’s management and regulators. You will collect, validate and analyse large datasets within the Credit Risk Reporting Squad in Utrecht.

Your reports provide insight into the credit risks Rabobank faces and help demonstrate that the bank operates within the applicable requirements. This enables Rabobank’s management to make informed decisions and allows regulators, including De Nederlandsche Bank and the European Central Bank, to assess the bank’s financial position. Through accurate and transparent reporting, you contribute to responsible risk management and a financially sound bank.

You will develop your knowledge of data analysis, quantitative methods, financial products, regulations and reporting. Basic SQL knowledge gives you a useful starting point. You do not need previous experience in credit risk reporting, as the team will help you develop the required specialist knowledge on the job. Alongside your role, you will take part in Rabobank’s one-year Early Career Program. This programme helps starters develop their Raboskills, personal effectiveness and internal network.
