What does this job entail?
As a bank/insurer, if we don't manage our risks properly, we fail our customers and our employees. We must always be able to fulfill our promises.
As an Insurance Risk Manager, you contribute to the sustainable growth of KBC Insurance. You help uncover risks and think about how our risk management can become increasingly better and more data-driven. You contribute to reports that demonstrate how we, as an insurer, manage risks, and how external factors such as geopolitics and ESG influence our approach.
Together with your colleagues, you take on an important responsibility in a context that never gets boring.
What do we expect from you?
- You work very closely with colleagues from your own team and from other departments, including international ones.
- You analyze new regulations and implement them in our operations.
- You identify the risks that KBC is exposed to, both current and future. For this, you keep an eye on risk signals from inside and outside our organization.
- You measure and analyze these risks by diving into various information sources and looking for connections, for example, between different types of risks.
- You present your insights clearly and digestibly to colleagues and managers. You take clear positions and defend them to internal and external stakeholders.
- You make suggestions on how our risk management can be improved and become more data-driven.
Your key strengths?
- You have experience in the insurance sector or in fields such as Risk, Legal, Finance, or Treasury. Ideally, you have a Master's Degree in Applied Economics, Business Engineering, Mathematics, Actuarial Science, or Law.
- You communicate strongly in English and Dutch, both written and oral. This is necessary to collaborate smoothly with all internal and external stakeholders.
- Like your colleagues, you enjoy working together with others and achieving goals as a team.
- In your field, you are responsible for the timeliness and quality of the reports and notes delivered to senior management and regulators.
- You stay up to date with regulatory initiatives in your field and proactively engage with them.
- You think about ways to use new technologies (e.g., AI) within risk management.
What can we offer you?
- Teamwork with an international dimension! Collaborating with so many different colleagues makes every day different and interesting.
- In addition to on-the-job learning, we invest in you with an exceptional range of training and development opportunities. You are encouraged to continue growing both personally and professionally.
- You receive a permanent contract with a competitive salary and a wide range of fringe benefits. For example, you can choose a company car.
- Our headquarters in Ghent, Leuven, and Brussels are easily accessible by public transport. Is it convenient for you to work from home as well? That is also possible!
- Thanks to flexible working hours, you can balance your work and private life.
Can you help us make the difference?
Working as an Insurance Risk Manager is a daily enriching experience for me. You join a diverse, enthusiastic, and experienced team where collaboration is natural and everyone strengthens each other. The job itself offers a great mix of substantive depth and a broad range of topics, which provides variety and challenge. At the same time, there is plenty of room for social interaction, making the work even more interesting. It is a role in which you continue to grow, derive energy, and find true satisfaction.
