Job description

The team

As part of a global function, you will work closely with Financial Risk, Treasury and modelling specialists across multiple countries, including Belgium, Germany, Spain, Australia and other ING locations.

The team plays a key role in understanding and managing how customer behaviour, interest rate movements and balance sheet dynamics translate into financial risk. This offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to banking, quantitative modelling, behavioural analytics and balance sheet management in an international environment.

What you will do

As an intern, you will contribute to projects related to:

• Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)


• Behavioural modelling of savings, mortgages and other retail products


• Quantitative analysis supporting Asset & Liability Management (ALM)


• Data analysis and model development


• Process improvements and analytical tooling


• Sensitivity analyses and stress testing


• Preparing clear and insightful analyses for risk and management discussions

You will work closely with experienced professionals from Financial Risk, Treasury and local risk teams, supporting analyses that contribute to the management of ING's balance sheet and interest rate risk exposure.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a highly motivated student with strong quantitative capabilities, an analytical mindset and a genuine interest in banking and risk management.

• Collaboration with specialists across multiple countries and disciplines.


• A challenging and international working environment.
