We are seeking an experienced and proactive qualitative Enterprise Risk Manager to join our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team. In this role, you will collaborate with ERM team members on key projects while gradually taking ownership of independent initiatives. Your contributions will be critical in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks across the business.

You will report directly to the Head of ERM and play a key role in supporting the company’s overall risk management framework. This position may involve occasional travel to our other offices, including Chicago and Sydney, to assist with global risk initiatives.

The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team operates at the Group level and closely collaborates with regional risk management teams. The team is responsible for maintaining and further developing IMC’s ERM framework, which offers a comprehensive view of the company’s risk profile, risk appetite, and the key controls in place to manage risks within that appetite.

The ERM framework encompasses all of IMC’s major risk categories:

1. Market, Credit, and Liquidity Risk
2. Operational Risk
3. Regulatory Risk
4. Information Security Risk

Moreover, ERM monitors companywide standards on controls and processes and moreover provides aggregated risk reporting across the organization. ERM provides support, advice and counsel to the CRO, Management Board and Supervisory Board on (strategic) risk topics, as well as the regional entities and the local teams.

As IMC continues to grow, the role of ERM is increasingly important and you will hence join our growing team in Amsterdam with a lot of opportunities.

• Prepare in-depth analyses and tailored reports for the CRO, Management Board, and other key stakeholders, supporting strategic decision-making.
