As a supervisor / credit risk expert at DNB, you will conduct in-depth on-site inspections at banks into the management of credit risks.
As a supervisor/credit risk expert you do so by participating in targeted on-site inspections at banks. These intrusive, in-depth inspections motivate the banks to adequately manage their credit risks. You will be dealing with all aspects of the lending process, from acceptance to provisioning and sales, and with a wide range of assets, from mortgages and SME loans to complex financing structures. Your expertise helps to ensure that banks can continue to support households, businesses and projects through their lending in the long term.
You will assess the set-up and practical effectiveness of credit risk management in specific portfolios of Dutch and international banks. You will conduct these inspections on-site, at the banks’ premises, as well as in a more hybrid form (on-site/off-site). You will be working in project teams of varying composition, comprising DNB colleagues and other supervisors working with the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank (ECB).
During the inspections, you will assess documentation on the structure of the organisation and its processes, hold interviews with experts and the (senior) management of the bank, analyse granular data on the characteristics of the loans in the portfolio being examined, and review selected credit files. Based on your findings you will report on a bank's credit risk management, the extent to which the bank acknowledges credit deterioration and its prudential allocation of provisions. You will share your observations with the relevant account supervisors and advise them on the appropriate supervisory strategy. In many cases your findings will prompt them to take supervisory action.
Your analyses demonstrate a keen awareness of current risks and new developments. Key issues that will require attention in the period ahead are the management of credit risk for credit portfolios affected by COVID-19, the determination of an adequate level of provisioning in line with new international accounting standards (IFRS9), the increasing use of complex algorithms in credit models and the sustainability of credit portfolios.
Based on your specialist expertise and the practical experience you gained in your previous positions, you will provide advice to your fellow supervisors. Their questions may vary widely: from the interpretation of laws and regulations, to assessment of practical applications, follow-up of credit risk inspections and the development of new examination techniques. You will also contribute to reinforcing the SSM's supervisory methodology and designing and implementing thematic examination programmes.
Dealing with many different banks within the Netherlands and abroad, no two days will ever be the same, and every examination or inspection will bring its own, different challenges. You will discuss matters at the highest level with the banks' senior management and management and supervisory board members.
This is what your job involves:
You will be working in a team of 14 colleagues within the Credit Risk (CR) department, our expert centre for the risks related to credit, securities, restructuring and provisions for credit loss at banks. CR is part of the On-Site Supervision and Banking Expertise (OSBE) Division. This division carries out our inspections at banks in the Netherlands and elsewhere in the EU and with its expertise supports other banking supervision divisions. On behalf of DNB, OSBE contributes its expertise to meetings with other SSM supervisors. The OSBE Division employs around 90 committed professionals with various backgrounds and nationalities. Its seven departments work closely together in open, informal, pragmatic and efficient teams. DNB forms part of the SSM of the ECB and the national competent authorities of the 19 euro area countries.
Working for the SSM means that you will have to travel abroad for training, on-site visits and other activities from time to time, and possibly also for longer periods during on-site inspections. This will be a characteristic element of the job, together with an environment that offers you a good work-life balance. Working for the SSM means working in multinational, multicultural teams and in various national partnership structures. Knowledge of other official EU languages besides Dutch and English would be a significant advantage.
At DNB you will be working together with other professionals with high-calibre skills and expertise. That is why it is important you have strong problem-solving and analytical skills and are inquisitive.
