• You work on financial modelling and model review
• You act as a first-line contact for a variety of top-class financial services clients and maintain an excellent relationship with our clients and various stakeholders.

Who are you?

Who are we looking for?

• A Master’s Degree in Economics or related area (a specialization in Corporate Finance is an asset)
• Solid quantitative and analytical skills
• Fluency in Dutch and French, with proficient level of business English
• Excellent communication skills

We are proud of our flexible working arrangements, and we will support you to build a successful career and deliver excellent client service, without sacrificing your personal priorities. While our client-facing profession might require regular travel, and at times working at client sites, we are committed to help you achieve a lifestyle balance.
