Junior Quantitative Risk Analyst in Den Haag

The job in a nutshell
By optimizing existing and developing new models you provide crucial quantitative insights and input for the valuation and pricing of Aegon’s pension, life and non-life insurances and mortgages. With sophisticated models you predict e.g. the life expectancy of Aegon’s pension policyholders or the number of disabilities within the income insurance portfolio. In addition, you accurately quantify the associated risks: what if people live longer than expected? With these insights you contribute to the management of Aegon’s balance sheet and collaborate in projects that further optimize the balance sheet. Much of the work is project-based, but also entails process responsibility.
