Experienced analyst
With the vision “Recognised as the most trusted financial partner”, Danske Bank is devoted to becoming the most trustworthy financial partner in our markets. To achieve this, we have a mission to set new standards in banking. This requires a strong market risk function in which talented employees challenge and give their input to the risk-taking units and our Quant department. Seize this opportunity to challenge your grasp of market and counterparty risk in an exciting position where theoretical knowledge is a must.
Market Risk is a growing department. We are facing increasing requirements both internally within Danske Bank and from the authorities. At our offices on Kongens Nytorv in the heart of Copenhagen, we therefore have a pressing need for more qualified colleagues who can help uphold a competent and smooth-running market risk function.
Your new colleagues will comprise 40 experts who together form a unique professional environment that you won’t find anywhere else – not even in academia. This is a great opportunity to work with advanced models and methods. Analysis of derivatives and structured products are part of daily life here, enabling us to understand the underlying risk factors and calculate them into our risk models.
Market risk from a-z
You will work for one of our three units – Portfolio Reporting, Modelling of Market Counterparty Risk or Risk Control. Together we are responsible for:
- Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Board and the risk-taking units, including our foreign units, on a daily, monthly and annual basis.
- Calculating and reporting VaR and stress tests as well as interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, liquidity and counterparty risk.
- Building, maintaining and developing risk systems, focusing on STP.
- Demonstrating good business sense and being able to implement new products quickly.
- Validating models and valuation.
- Conducting quantitative analyses within both valuation and risk.
- Reporting risk figures to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and Accounting.
In addition to intellectual challenges, you will find a competent approach to our work which combines high professional ambitions with a high level of quality. Like us, you are enthusiastic about creating results-oriented solutions on time, and you thrive in an environment based on trust of everyone within Market Risk and of our external partners. And best of all: you will have the opportunity to perform interesting tasks that will be used in a larger context.
Experienced analyst with communication skills
You hold a degree in finance, mathematics, economics or similar, possibly supplemented with relevant courses and continuing education. Furthermore, you have experience with market risk, preferably from the financial sector.
Communication across the organisation and with external stakeholders is an important part of the job. You must therefore be able to explain complex information correctly and in an easily understandable manner, both orally and in writing, including in English. Personally, you are independent of nature and enjoy working on your own and as part of a team. You are efficient and have a high work ethic with focus on quality.
