What does this job entail?
The importance of data has increased enormously in recent years, and data management has become one of the most exciting domains in the financial industry. At the ‘Group Reporting Services’ directorate (GRS), we are at the heart of KBC's data-driven strategy. We offer you an exciting job in a dynamic environment with an international, diverse and inclusive team. We care for our people and make sure that everyone can contribute to the best of their potential.
You will reinforce the Reporting & Analysis Competence Center (R&A CC) within GRS. This department is responsible for asset & liability management (ALM), liquidity, credit risk, insurance risk and financial reporting of KBC Group.
As a Risk Analyst, you will be part of a dynamic team responsible for ensuring that internal and external parties receive clear facts, figures, and thorough analyses of the risks to which KBC Group is exposed. You will be responsible for delivering risk reports for regulators, other KBC departments, and KBC management while ensuring the quality of the underlying data and reports. Additionally, you will continuously strive to bring our processes to the next level through various projects and innovations.

Can you help us make the difference?
I got the opportunity to get acquainted with risk reporting and learned how financial institutions follow up and manage their risks. I get energy from analysing the real risk drivers and I like to communicate these messages to a broad audience. Within this team, I’ve grown gradually during the years and have taken up a lot of interesting side projects along the way which facilitated an international cross-team collaboration, development of my project skills and thinking out of the box.
