• You'll assist in the development and periodic review of the bank’s risk appetite statements and tolerance levels.
• You’ll monitor risk exposures against approved appetite limits and escalate breaches to senior management.
• You'll craft bank-wide risk policies that balance regulatory requirements with our business goals, ensuring we remain compliant while still seizing opportunities for growth and regularly review and update these policies to reflect changes in the regulatory landscape and our risk profile.
• You'll become our in-house expert on regulatory developments, translating dense legal text into strategies that keep us ahead of the curve.
• You'll collaborate with teams across the bank on major projects, from implementing new regulations to integrating systems.

Your team

At NIBC, we're not just another bank – we're a dynamic and entrepreneurial workplace, and you're the key to keeping us that way. Our success hinges on our ability to navigate the complex regulatory landscape while still driving innovation and growth. That's where you come in.

You're the translator, the bridge-builder, the risk-savvy visionary we need. Without your expertise, we could easily get bogged down in regulatory red tape or, worse, miss crucial opportunities for growth. Your ability to turn complex regulations into clear, actionable policies will be the secret sauce that allows NIBC to thrive in an ever-changing financial environment.

You'll be our regulatory compass, guiding us through the stormy seas of financial compliance while keeping our entrepreneurial spirit intact. Your insights will shape our strategic decisions, influence our product development, and ultimately determine how we grow and adapt in a competitive market. In short, you're not just joining a team – you're becoming a linchpin in NIBC's future success.

Your expertise in developing and maintaining comprehensive risk appetite frameworks will be crucial in balancing our growth ambitions with prudent risk management. You'll play a pivotal role in translating our risk appetite into measurable metrics and thresholds that guide decision-making across all levels of the bank and ensures that our risk-taking activities align with our strategic objectives, capital strength and regulatory requirements.
