About The Division

Deutsche Bank is exposed to a wide range of risks every day. Credit losses, volatility of market prices, operational failures, infrastructure outages, liquidity shortages, regulatory requirements and legal matters can all impact the bank’s capital and reputation. It is the responsibility of the Chief Risk Office to identify, aggregate, manage and mitigate these risks.

The Chief Risk Office achieves this through rigorous monitoring and measurement processes, a framework of principles, close collaboration with the DB’s Business divisions and other infrastructure areas. Risk management continually evolves to keep pace with increasingly complex financial products and ever-changing market dynamics. The integrated approach of capital and risk management is embodied by the Chief Risk Office, built on consolidated management of capital, funding and liquidity; comprehensive stress testing; and robust underwriting and monitoring standards.

About the role

During twelve months as a graduate you will be an integral part of the team, gaining practical experience in key areas within the Chief Risk Office (CRO), benefiting from technical training and one-to-one mentoring. The program combines on- and off-the-job learning to equip you with vital skills and enable you to contribute to the CRO organization.

You will work on day-to-day business and on special projects, gaining a broad overview of CRO. The program includes rotations in different functions within CRO. You will apply your analytical skills to prepare analyses to support risk management decisions, observe market developments, identify risks and their drivers, support the calculation of potential risk exposure and setting risk appetites, and help formulate solutions to mitigate financial and non-financial risks while ensuring effective communication to senior management.

The specific tasks will depend on your role within the team, but the role will prepare you for a successful career at Deutsche Bank and in the financial industry. You will learn and develop professionally and personally, building a foundation for future specialisation.
