What does the TRM Team do in ING?

We offer different internship opportunities in different departments and locations of our Wholesale bank. This vacancy focusses on positions within the TRM department.

The Trading Risk Management (TRM) team plays a critical role in safeguarding the bank’s financial health by identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling exposure to market-driven risks. The department works across asset classes and business lines to ensure that trading (Financial Markets) and banking books remain within the bank’s risk appetite and regulatory boundaries.

What would you be doing?
