More than 500 employees develop and manage investment solutions for our investors in 7 different countries. We launched the first environmental fund in Austria more than 25 years ago - at a time when the topic was still a niche. Today, we manage more than EUR 35 billion in sustainability (as of 31.10.2025) and place sustainability at the heart of our business activities.

Within the Risk Management division, the ESG Risk & Development Desk plays a central role in ensuring compliance with legal and contractual requirements for more than 350 funds and over 5,000 portfolios. The desk combines regulatory expertise, quantitative risk analysis and technical implementation.

Our responsibility is to identify risks early and safeguard investor interests.

To strengthen our Vienna‑based team, we are looking for a Quant Risk Specialist who is eager to contribute to the optimisation, automation and further development of our quantitative risk processes.
