Finance Group Treasury (GT) & Corporate Line (CL) / Business Control & Advice – Central GT is looking for a Senior Associate Finance Control professional with a strong financial background who is eager to work in an ambitious and dynamic finance team with deep business expertise and specialist knowledge.

Are you passionate about Finance and Treasury? Would you like to understand how Treasury - the “bank within the bank” - supports the commercial businesses and helps keep ING safe by managing liquidity, solvency, funding, and financial risk?

The Finance Treasury team analyses and reports on Treasury performance to support decision-making. We combine a strong understanding of detail and sensitivities with the ability to step back and see the bigger picture. We translate complexity into a clear storyline for a broad range of stakeholders, including the Treasury business, Group Finance, local Finance teams, and service centres. We do this by working collaboratively across the globe, challenging the status quo, and staying on top of technological developments.

Are you enthusiastic to make your next steps in Finance? Motivated to gain experience working in a dynamic and international environment? Anxious to learn and switch between complexity and the big picture? Then join us!
