Bring your expertise in quantitative analysis and risk management to shape our financial future.

Do you have a strong background in quantitative analysis, in an investment bank, consulting firm or multilateral development body? Do you have sound knowledge of financial mathematics, statistics and numerical methods? If so, then you can play a crucial role in promoting a strong risk and control culture as you provide expert advice on capital management and market risk assessment.

Bringing together 43 member countries, the CEB finances and responds to emergency situations and actively enhances the living conditions of the most disadvantaged groups. Strengthening social cohesion and building thriving communities in Europe, we drive inclusive growth, bolster economic sustainability – while offering exceptional career opportunities.

At the heart of our capital, credit and market risk modelling missions, you will assess our capital adequacy using internal, regulatory and rating agency approaches. Own and enhance our economic capital model, undertake benchmarking, develop stress tests and improving methodologies to give us a deeper understanding of data. Your expertise will drive the evaluation of pension obligations, shaping fair value measurement of derivatives, and assessing market and liquidity risk indicators, guaranteeing our financial stability and future growth.

To join us, you should bring:

• A postgraduate qualification in a quantitative field such as mathematics, physics, engineering or computer science;
• Advanced programming skills in R or other languages (C++. C#, Python, MATLAB);
• Implementation experience of developing analytical libraries;
• Fluency in either English or French, with the commitment to reach a good working level in the other language;
• Working knowledge of quantitative credit risk techniques (ideal but not essential).

Finally, experience of social infrastructure operations within the public and private sectors in Eastern and Central Europe would be very useful but is by no means essential.

Applications should be made in English or French using the Council of Europe Development Bank online application system before the deadline of 16 March 2025, midnight Paris time.
