KBC Securities is part of KBC Group but a separate legal entity, with an exceptional focus on the client and an ambitious & dynamic vibe. A flat organisation with its own DNA and where colleagues closely work together.

KBC Securities NV is the integrated stock exchange company of KBC Group, with headquarters in Brussels. As business optimizer you will have a detailed view on the different processes and applications within the different business lines of KBC Securities:

• Origination in debt & equity capital markets (corporate finance, mergers & acquisitions, syndication, debt placement)
