The Opportunity: Your Next Adventure Awaits?

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) consultants help financial institutions avoid losses, but also ensure that the organizations are well-equipped to pursue risky, yet profitable opportunities; they have become equal and necessary partners of the business, and their working environment is determined by data and analysis tools, as well as an increasingly prescriptive regulatory framework. Good risk management is increasingly important to get and maintain the license to operate.

Our aim is to ensure that risk management stays at the forefront of digital and disruption. The challenges are tremendous and we offer our clients insight into what the risk management function and compliance function of the future looks like. We are looking for professionals who are comfortable operating on this cross-road, and who also possess the interpersonal skills needed in order to solve our clients’ risk management challenges.

As a future ERM consultant, you will join the “ERM, regulatory and compliance” team, designed to assist our clients in financial services (payment institutions, insurance companies, banks, asset managers, Center Securities Depositaries, …) with delivering transformation projects, managing risk, and improving performance. Both in support and control functions as well as within the business (end-to-end).

• Operational risks such as KYC/AML, third party risk management, compliance, data governance, …;
