• 5+ years in risk management or treasury within a regulated bank or financial institution.
• Strong understanding of European/BaFin regulatory frameworks (CRR, LCR, NSFR, ILAAP, MaRisk).
• Hands-on experience building or operating quantitative risk models and cash flow forecasting tools (SQL/Python skills are a plus).
• Proven track record of driving complex projects across domains like IT GRC, Outsourcing, or Compliance.
• Exceptional ability to mentor junior colleagues and articulate complex financial risks clearly to C-level executives and external partners.
• Fluency in English; German language skills are a strong advantage.

Nice to have
