How do we work?
In this role, you will join a team of 5 members, including the Head of Operational Risk, based across our offices in Warsaw and Krakow. You will act as an independent quantitative authority responsible for the identification, measurement, management, and supervisory reporting of financial risks across our local and global portfolio. Working closely with cross-functional stakeholders, you will drive market, credit, counterparty, liquidity, and concentration risk initiatives, delivering mandatory reporting to regulatory authorities (including KNF and EBA) and ensuring continuous capital adequacy under the IFR/IFD framework.
We work in a hybrid model - we'd love to meet you in the office 2 times a week with respect to your own commitments.

Automate daily K-NPR calculations across proprietary books and residual B-Book inventory.

Prepare technical documentation and defend capital calculation methodologies during KNF SREP examinations.
Ensure end-to-end data lineage from raw trade logs to supervisory returns, aligning with updated EBA RTS and UKNF guidelines.
