Manager Financial Risk Management

We believe that our business’ growth can only be sustainable when our people love the work they do and when it’s balanced with their personal lives. Does this vision match your ambitions? Join us as a Manager Financial Risk Management!

Your role

As a Zanders Risk Manager you will join our ‘Financial Institutions’ team, a team of 65 Financial Risk Management Consultants. Most of the consultants (95%) have a quantitative background. Freedom, fun and flexibility play an important role in this team. The colleagues could be described as self-starters who are eager to push their boundaries and constantly challenge themselves.

Together with the team, you will focus on financial risk related projects for banks, insurers and asset managers. You are able to support the Chief Risk Officer and his/her team from risk strategy to implementation. This requires a broad perspective and an entrepreneurial spirit. You advise our clients surrounding developing, designing and performing the quantification of risks.

An average week has four working days on-site at the client and one working day at the office in Utrecht. On Friday it is time to catch up with your Zanders colleagues and join knowledge and training sessions. We believe that developing our people by investing in them and by sharing knowledge and experiences is our differentiator and key to success.
