COO Risk Junior Business Analyst

Full-time | COO – Financial Risk

At ING, we believe it’s your ideas, curiosity and willingness to learn that matter. As part of our team, you’ll work in a dynamic, international environment where you can develop quickly, contribute from the start and grow your expertise in financial risk, data and technology.

Your new role and work environment
A great opportunity has become available for a Junior Business Analyst to join our ALM Core team in the Financial Risk Tribe of COO Risk. COO Risk sits at the heart of the Bank’s regulatory transformation portfolio and corresponding operational activities. Our teams support key financial risk processes by translating banking exposures into insights for risk-weighted assets, NII, IRRBB and provisions, in line with changing business needs and regulatory requirements. In this role, you will learn how these processes work and contribute to improvements together with experienced colleagues across Risk, Finance, Treasury and Technology.

At the Financial Risk Tribe of COO Risk, you help build the foundation that enables ING to make sound financial risk decisions every day. We provide the platform and processes that underpin critical risk management and regulatory decision-making across areas such as market risk, liquidity risk and balance sheet management. Working at the intersection of Risk, Finance, Treasury and Technology, we drive automation, modernise risk platforms, improve data quality and strengthen the resilience of the risk landscape. By translating complex risk and regulatory requirements into scalable solutions, our teams help ING remain safe, compliant and future-ready while accelerating the Bank’s digital transformation.

The ALM Core team has been established to strengthen the delivery of strategic and/or regulatory ALM change projects and improve alignment across stakeholders. It acts as an overarching expertise team across data ingestion, QRM processing and analysis and reporting product groups. QRM has been rolled out as ING’s single global Asset and Liability Management platform, supporting both global and local requirements. As a Junior Business Analyst, you will help the team strengthen end-to-end coordination within the Financial Risk Tribe and support collaboration with Financial Risk and Group Treasury stakeholders. You will expand your understanding of ALM, QRM and regulatory change while contributing to practical delivery activities.
