The Risk Controlling department is responsible for establishing and maintaining a robust, group-wide risk management framework aligned with Basel principles and guidelines. This involves implementing policies and controls to identify, measure, monitor, and manage the bank's risks, including credit, market, operational, and liquidity risk. The team's primary functions are ongoing risk profile monitoring, preparing accurate risk reports for stakeholders and regulators, and assessing capital and liquidity adequacy according to regulatory frameworks like CRR.

Your Responsibilities

As a Quantitative Risk Controller, you will play a central role in the development, implementation, and continuous enhancement of the bank’s economic ICAAP framework, market price risk measurement, and liquidity risk analysis. You will ensure the internal risk-bearing capacity adequately reflects the bank’s risk profile, supporting strategic steering through robust risk analytics and reporting, which contributes directly to risk transparency, regulatory compliance, and financial resilience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain models and methodologies for the economic perspective of ICAAP, including internal capital calculations and risk aggregation.
• Perform quantification and monitoring of market price risks (especially interest rate risk) using both standard and internal models.
• Analyze and report on liquidity risk metrics, including survival horizons, funding concentration, and liquidity stress testing.
• Conduct scenario analyses and stress tests for economic capital and liquidity risks, ensuring alignment with MaRisk and EBA/ECB guidelines.
• Maintain the risk inventory and contribute to the assessment of material risks in coordination with other risk types.
• Support ICAAP reporting to management, regulators, and internal committees, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance.
• Collaborate closely with Treasury, Finance, and the business lines to align capital, liquidity, and risk strategies.
• Monitor regulatory developments and adapt internal methodologies accordingly.
• Contribute to the ongoing refinement of risk measurement tools and data quality improvements.
