For one of our leading clients in the banking industry Levy is looking for a Market Risk Professional with a minimum of 2 to 3 years of relevant experience in the Financial sector and Extensive knowledge of financial risk management.

In the coming years, the complete migration to the target ALM solution for the bank will be built in QRM.

What are you going to do as a Market Risk Professional?

• Because our hedges influence the cost-price of our products, you will be asked for advice by the business tribes in pricing and product decisions. In doing so, you have to know all the details of our product offerings (mortgages, savings, current accounts, business loans, consumer loans).
• You will play a central role within the bank and your activities will impact overall P&L. Your success will depend on your ability to maintain good relations with our stakeholders.
• You take part directly or indirectly in the migration of the bank's QRM for the monthly hedging process
