We always seek to expand the in-house framework for performing quick and agile risk assessments of new potential business cases.

We are a team of dedicated specialists, supporting the organisation by building and overseeing models that calculate our business risks. The team culture is distinguished by being collaborative; we work best when working towards a common goal. We share the mindset that no task is impossible, and we always seek to improve our existing solutions to be the best in the game, sparring with each other as we go along.

In the role, you have the freedom to define the models you find most relevant – and the responsibility to implement them as well! - Mikkel Graversen, Manager, Head of Risk Modelling
