Credit risk manager
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
Risk, Legal & Compliance
Job description
We are looking for a versatile credit risk manager to strengthen our second-line risk management team. Are you experienced at analyzing and monitoring credit risks in a loan portfolio at a financial institution? Do you enjoy working in a rapidly growing and ambitious bank? If you answered yes and yes, then you may be the perfect fit for Brand New Day. We are looking to strengthen our risk management framework on credit and climate risk for our expanding mortgage portfolios, retail loans and investments, while complying with regulatory standards.
About us
Brand New Day is an online pension bank. Our clients buy individual pension products, like savings annuities or a (tax-efficient) pension account. We also offer savings accounts and term deposits, where clients might save for a university education, a world trip or whatever else. Subsequently, Brand New Day invests in relatively safe loan portfolios and investments.
The investment market is big and competitive and as a fintech, we compete in the loan markets. We are entrepreneurs, which differentiates us from more established banks. Brand New Day actively seeks new opportunities to enable rapid growth. We have a can-do attitude and have little tolerance for workplace politics. In ten years’ time, we have managed to build a € 6 billion balance sheet based on 300.000 customers.
What will you do as credit risk manager?
As credit risk manager, you are responsible for assessing the credit and climate risks in our loan portfolios. By applying your quantitative skills, you maintain and improve our credit risk models (PD, LGD and EAD) to determine the expected credit losses of our loan portfolios. You also develop and calculate stress test scenarios for internal and external reporting. You are responsible for making the credit risk dashboard, monitoring credit risk limits and report to the credit and climate risk committee.
Part of your responsibility is also to make sure that we adhere to EBA guidelines. Since we are a rapidly growing bank, you participate in various projects to improve the data quality on our data platform and automate and develop our risk reports. In short: you maintain our risk policies and procedures.
Along with two other financial risk managers, you are responsible for all financial risks on the balance sheet. Besides credit risk, these are mainly interest rate and liquidity risk. Therefore, you may also function as a back-up and sparring partner on the other risk domains. It is a versatile and demanding position!
Where do you end up?
As credit risk manager you are part of the risk management department in Brand New Day’s second line. You work closely with the two other financial risk managers, and you are each other’s replacements when necessary. You report directly to the head of a department that includes two operational risk managers and an information security officer. We interact informally and nonhierarchal. Interacting with the CRO and board members is common. As second line risk manager, you operate and report independently of the first line and give solicited and unsolicited advice. To get results, you also cooperate closely with the treasury department.
