Treasury Modeller (Treasury & ALM)

As Treasury Modeller, you will be member of the Group Treasury department that ensures that the balance sheet of KBC is managed in a safe and profitable way. Group Treasury generates a large part of the net interest income which remains the most important source of profitability for KBC Group. This is done via:

• Asset & Liability management - managing the interest rate position and asset mix of the investment portfolios to generate more interest income in a sound way;
• Optimizing balance sheet composition, liquidity and funding cost/mix of banking subsidiaries and the group;
• Management of the short-term volatility of P&L and capital ratios via application of hedge accounting techniques.

Group Treasury and the Local Treasuries in all subsidiaries work closely together. In this respect Treasury offers a unique opportunity to work in an intellectually challenging environment that provides a helicopter view on bank & insurance activities with a focus on international collaboration.

As Treasury Modeller you will reinforce the Strategy & Development team, a team within Group Treasury that focuses on the overall treasury strategy and contributes to projects and conceptual developments that help us to win our four must win battles:

1. proactively adapting our balance sheet management to the changing environment (negative rates; low spreads; changing client behaviour; new competition,..);
2. embracing data technologies to gain superior insights in client behaviour and so in balance sheet management (This Must-Win-Battle will be your focus.);
3. standardizing core processes and;
4. continuously improve our way of working through structural groupwide collaboration.
