Title Senior Risk Manager – Financial & Strategic Risk

Department 2nd Line Risk Management FFB

Location Kronberg i.Ts, Germany

Reports To Head of 2nd Line Risk Management

Level Senior Manager

We’re proud to have been helping our clients build better financial futures for over 50 years. How have we achieved this? By working together - and supporting each other - all over the world. So, join our 2nd line Risk Management team and feel like you’re part of something bigger.

About your team :

You’ll be joining a small, high-impact team within a dynamic bank that is part of a leading international financial services group. Our flat hierarchies and direct access to executive management offer you the opportunity to contribute where it matters most. We work closely with the global risk function of our group and maintain open dialogue with supervisory authorities.

We support each other across topics and functions, especially when ad-hoc or unexpected challenges arise. While this role has a clear focus, it also offers you the chance to gain broader insights into the bank’s overall risk landscape. We value team spirit, thematic flexibility, and practical thinking.

About your role :

In this role, you will be responsible for the oversight and continuous development of our financial and strategic risk frameworks. You will ensure compliance with regulatory expectations, contribute to capital planning processes, and help to maintain a sound risk and capital position.

This position is ideal for experienced risk professionals who take a broad, pragmatic view of financial and strategic risks and prefer hands-on responsibility over highly specialized modeling tasks.

Your responsibilities include :

Capital & Financial Risk Management

• Oversee and further develop risk frameworks for financial and strategic (business) risk
• Ensure capital adequacy and support ICAAP processes including capital planning and risk-bearing capacity assessments
• Take ownership of simple, robust internal models (e.g. credit, market and pension risks, stress tests, earnings volatility) — no advanced model development expected
• Evaluate capital needs under baseline and stress scenarios and support supervisory reviews

Quantitative Risk Assessment

Stakeholder Management & Communication

About you :

You bring sound experience within the financial services risk management, ideally from a bank or regulatory authority, and combine analytical ability with practical judgment

We are looking for someone who :

Please note that this is not a quantitative modeling role — we are looking for a senior risk manager who values clarity, ownership, and practical impact over complexity.

Why join us :

This is a unique opportunity to work in a small, agile bank with a strong capital base and close ties to a global financial services group. You will be part of a collaborative environment where your expertise makes a visible difference.

If you’re looking for a senior role where you can apply your broad experience without getting lost in technical model complexity — and where your professional judgment and flexibility are truly valued — this is the right role for you

Feel rewarded :

For starters, we’ll offer you a comprehensive benefits package. We’ll value your wellbeing and support your development. And we’ll be as flexible as we can about where and when you work – finding a balance that works for all of us. It’s all part of our commitment to making you feel motivated by the work you do and happy to be part of our team.
