Are you an experienced risk professional with a broad background in Operational or Non-Financial Risk Management? Do you enjoy looking across different risk domains, challenging the business and translating complex risk matters into practical improvements?
At ABN AMRO Clearing, we are looking for a Non-Financial Risk Specialist to join our Global Operational Risk Management function.
In this role, you will contribute to the identification, assessment, monitoring and management of non-financial risks across our global organisation. You will provide independent second-line oversight and challenge across a broad range of risk areas and business activities, rather than focusing on one specific risk type.
You will work with colleagues across the organisation on topics including Business Continuity Management Risk, Data Risk (including AI), HR Risk, Tax Risk and Change Risk (as a risk driver for our organisation). You will also contribute to the continuous improvement of our risk management framework, methodologies and governance practices and to ensuring alignment across our global organization.

ABN AMRO Clearing Bank (AACB) is a specialized subsidiary of ABN AMRO with its own banking license and approximately 1,200 employees worldwide. AACB provides clearing services across major global financial markets and operates in a complex, highly regulated and technology-driven environment.
Within AACB, Global Operational Risk Management acts as the Second Line of Defence. This function is responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring operational risks that could affect the continuity, reliability, and security of clearing activities. Operating globally, Global ORM ensures consistent risk oversight and the implementation of robust control frameworks across all regions.
As part of this team, you will work in an international environment and interact with colleagues from different business areas, locations and control functions. This gives you the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of both Operational Risk Management and the clearing business.

• Plenty of room for relaxation with five weeks of vacation per year, supplemented by two mandatory days off. You can also purchase up to four additional weeks of vacation annually.
• Five “Banking for better days”: extra days off that you can use for personal development or volunteer work.
• Personal development is key: you receive a development budget of €1,000 per year, which can accumulate up to €3,000.
• An annual public transport pass with free public transportation throughout the Netherlands for both business and private use.
