We are looking for you if you have an analytical mindset, take initiative and enjoy working in collaboration with others. Our team performs in a highly integrated environment preparing risk reporting for a broad range of stakeholders. We excel at working with data and analytics to provide insight into our bank’s risk and opportunities. We are looking for a well-rounded individual who has worked with reporting before and has experience in working with documenting the finer points of applying IFRS9.
The Risk MI department is a part of the Enterprise Risk Management function and is made up by a Nordic team of analysts and specialists with main focus on reporting and investigation of credit risk related matters.
As Risk MI Analyst, your main area of responsibilities covers the running and upkeep of the IFRS9 Engine and the Santander Nordic Default engine to support the bank’s provision process and the reporting of losses in accordance with IFRS9 throughout its reporting cycles: pre-close, month close, budgeting and forecasting. You will support the Risk MI team in proving supporting analysis to transform the data reported into meaningful management information.
You will be interacting with our HQ counterparts, our local IFRS team and our auditors in matters related to the IFRS9 provisioning process. Change management and related controls are an important aspect of your responsibilities to ensure high quality and continuity, and will require collaboration with IT and Data management teams. As steward of our IFRS9 data asset, many reporting and change initiatives will require connection to our data in a structured way, which you will play a key role in delivering.
You will be working with a Nordic team, supporting the end-to-end closing process for the bank where your responsibilities include proactive planning, monitoring and mitigating action to ensure delivery on time and with quality.
You will be working in a vital area of Santander´s risk strategy and your daily job will involve collaboration across the different departments inside Risk such as Risk Data and Modelling teams to support the IFRS9 model update process for the bank and to help deep dive on analytics to understand the loss results associated to various product lines.
Data is an essential part of all risk processes to identify, measure and mitigate risks inherent to our core business activities.

- Master or Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science or related fields
Skills and personal traits required to succeed:
