Enterprise Risk Manager

Do you aspire to become Chief Risk Officer, Transformation Manager or Executive Assistant of the Regional Chief Executive Officer? Are you ambitious and want to make an impact?

Those are few exemplar positions risk team members were promoted to during the last 3 years.

Being part of the Risk Management team at Allianz offers great possibilities to contribute to the strategy of the company, balancing risks and performance, being regularly exposed to senior executives incl. CEO and CFO, and participating in projects that shape our company. There are also many opportunities to dive into qualitative or quantitative analysis on solvency as well as all the risks present in the balance sheet.

Guess what? YES, we are hiring and looking for new talented colleagues.

The Regional Risk Management function represents a key building block in protecting the company and its balance sheet while supporting risk/return considerations via contribution to asset/liability and capital management. Given the nature of our business in the Benelux region, the full risk universe is covered. It’s an expert international community where hierarchy and having no opinion are not desired.

The Enterprise Risk Management team is responsible for assessing, monitoring and steering the integrated risk and control framework. Covering risks emerging from the operational, IT, legal & compliance and financial reporting areas.

• You support and challenge the 1st line of defense in managing and monitoring their risks
• You will coordinate testing of the controls, and follow-up on operational events impacting the stability of the company
• You will organize and prepare quarterly meetings with senior management to report on strategic risks, operational risk events and the ongoing quality of the control structure
• You will build and nourish close working relations with the Operations & IT, as well as with the Compliance, Finance and Project teams. 

We are looking for:

• Familiarity with control frameworks (COSO, COBIT5, etc.) is a plus.
• Excellent communicator / strong stakeholder management
• Ability to communicate clearly on complex topics and present to the Board of Management on the spot
• Travelling in the Benelux is no issue.
