We are looking for a Senior Financial Economic Crime Consultant to help grow the firm with a focus on model development in the field of Transaction Monitoring (TM), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Sanctions screening and Fraud detection.

You will be running one or more projects simultaneously and will be responsible for the full modelling scope: from imagining solutions to the strategic needs of our clients, to building and implementing them into their cloud infrastructure.

You will also have an active management role and contribute to project origination, staff mentoring, recruitment, or quality assurance.

You will learn fast and keep your mind sharp by partnering with different clients to solve the most challenging puzzles using the latest technology.

RiskQuest is a consulting firm specializing in developing state-of-the-art models for managing financial risks, preventing financial economic crime, and for sustainable strategy.

Since we were founded in 2008, we have been able to build and maintain an impressive customer base and work for all major Dutch financial institutions, including the Dutch central bank.

The growing team consists of 60 exceptional quants with backgrounds in mathematics, physics, econometrics, computer science, or engineering, combined with a commercial sense and the ability to explain complex matters to management, development, and academic audiences.

Our beautiful office is located at the Herengracht in Amsterdam. The working culture is open and informal; we value entrepreneurship, and always strive for the highest quality. There is an intense social life with daily chess matches, ping pong competitions, after-work drinks, foreign trips, and other activities.

Schedule

• Start of the day: 08:30 - 09:00 You enter our office at the Herengracht and start the day with a nice conversation in the coffee corner. Have you read the latest news on financial crime?
• Client Meeting: 09:00 - 10:00 Time for a meeting with one of our clients. They want to know about the most material money laundering risks for their portfolio, and how we can identify fraudulent transactions using machine learning. Interesting!
• Coaching meeting: 10:00 - 11:00 You start the afternoon with a coaching meeting with one of your coachees. You will have a coffee in the city center of Amsterdam and discuss a variety of topics: work, future project, ambitions, but also the status of your building projects (since you just bought a house).
• Team update: 11:00 - 12:00 The team provides you with all the necessary status updates on the current projects. You help with the challenges that they are facing and make sure they are on the right track.
• Lunch: 12:00 - 13:00 Because we are located in the center of Amsterdam, there are numerous options to score a good lunch. Today you pick an option from our own ‘RiskQuest menu’, which is a list of the best places in the neighborhood.
• Development of new Machine Learning Model: 13:00 - 15:00 Together with your colleagues, you start working on a first version of a machine learning model to detect ML transactions for the client you spoke to in the morning.
• Unit MT: 15:00 - 16:00 At the end of the day, you have a management team meeting for a business unit within RiskQuest. You discuss new project requests and how to staff them. You also investigate actions for the long run.
• Presentation preparation: 16:00 - 17:00 Because it is very important to not only make good models, but also explain them, you prepare some slides that elaborate on how the ML model works. You make sure the slides are nice and clean because tomorrow is the follow-up meeting with the client.

At RiskQuest, you can make a meaningful impact from day one while working with the biggest players in the industry. Learning and development is at the center of what we do, and is propelled by a diverse and experienced group of colleagues. We celebrate success and work as a team.
