The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for the investment-oriented parts of the risk management function (one of the Solvency 2 functions). The Investment Risk Management team consists of 7 experienced professionals who together carry out a broad spectrum of risk management activities. These often have a financial risk component and are usually also characterized by the required tact and consultancy approach of your advice to the management or to the risk committees.

The culture of Athora Netherlands and the Investment Risk Management team is open and inclusive. In addition, we count on your own responsibility to deliver, with flexibility to choose where to work (home or office).

What do you get from us?

You get about 900 colleagues who all think they work for a special company. You will have the opportunity to make an important contribution to the socially relevant theme of pensions; we ensure that over a million Dutch people have a good income when they stop working after retirement or add an extra career.

You will have the opportunity to really make a difference when it comes to sustainability, because we have a leading role in our business operations and investments for years. Of course, you will get a (flexible) workplace at one of our offices that are among the best 7% in the world. And because you also work regularly from home, you will receive a budget to set up your home office properly.

In exchange for your commitment, talent and skills, next to your salary plus a holiday allowance and a thirteenth month, you will receive 27 vacation days (with a 36-hour contract) and a public transport card or travel allowance for the days you come to the office.

This gives you the opportunity to grow, within our company or beyond.
