KPMG Ranked #TopEmployerBelgium2025! #TopEmployer
As a Manager within our Financial Risk Management (FRM) practice, you will lead multidisciplinary engagements to advise clients on how to adequately identify, measure and manage their financial risks (market, credit, liquidity, and operational domains). You will manage project delivery teams, provide strategic insights, and support clients in strengthening their risk frameworks, modelling capabilities, governance structures, and regulatory compliance — in a context of an evolving business environment and regulations. In this role, you combine hands-on delivery with true consultancy: acting as a trusted advisor to clients and as a go-to coach internally. You will also contribute to business development and the growth of the FRM practice.
What will you do
1. Lead and manage FRM advisory projects from planning to execution, ensuring high-quality deliverables that meet client expectations (with a focus on the financial sector).
2. Assess clients’ financial risk frameworks, policies, and processes; identify gaps and propose enhancements.
3. Oversee the development, validation, and implementation of risk methodologies / frameworks and models (e.g., credit risk / IFRS 9 / IRB, market risk, ALM/IRRBB, liquidity risk, stress testing).
4. Manage project teams, review deliverables, and ensure high-quality outcomes that meet client expectations.
5. Contribute to business development by identifying client needs, shaping proposals, and representing KPMG in the market.
6. Deliver insights through presentations, workshops, and reports tailored to (senior) stakeholders.
7. Coach and mentor junior colleagues, fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and excellence.
