• You are curious about emerging technologies and data‑driven work, ideally with first exposure to analytics tools (e.g., Python, Power BI, or similar) or a strong interest in learning how data and AI can support risk processes
• Thanks to your communicative nature, you quickly find your way into the team. Besides working in teams, you have the ability to work independently, and your analytical skills and your motivation help you to quickly familiarise yourself with new topics
