Finance & Risk Trainee NN Group

Are you eager to learn and looking for ways in which you can challenge and develop yourself? Then the Traineeship at NN Group is the perfect start to your career. At NN, we are there for our clients during major changes in life. For example when buying a house, expanding your family or planning your retirement. As a Finance & Risk trainee you will contribute to issues that matter and are prepared to become a future leader. That is why we are looking for trainees that empathize with our clients, take initiative and do not give up easily. In other words, we are looking for you!

The programme

Our trainees are our future leaders. During the 2-year programme you will take the first steps towards becoming this future leader. You will have three assignments in three different departments throughout the programme. One of those assignments could also be abroad, for example in Madrid, Athens or Prague. Your assignments will challenge you and accelerate your personal development and knowledge. After these three assignments, you will start in a fixed position.  

Next to the assignments, you and your fellow trainees will also be part of the Future Leadership Programme. This programme is all about your personal leadership; your growth as a person, as a professional and as a future leader. In addition to the FLP, you and your fellow trainees will have training weeks in which a variety of subjects such as project management, stakeholder management and data & AI will be covered. And the training doesn’t stop there! To fully equip you for becoming successful in the area of Finance and Risk at NN, your colleagues will give you expert trainings on topics such as IFRS17, Solvency, pricing etc. And on top of all of this, you will also be coached by one of our senior leaders and the trainee manager throughout the Traineeship.

Your development

Your assignments, intensive development programme, coaches and exposure to senior leadership all contribute to you making an impact on the business and to developing yourself more quickly. You are continuously challenged and gain a lot of knowledge, experience and valuable insights in a short period of time. And this is a trajectory which you will be sharing with your fellow trainees. At the end of your Traineeship, you will be part of a close group of friends that will last your entire career at NN.

Your impact as a trainee

As a Finance & Risk trainee, you will be able to work in a high expertise environment within our Risk and Finance departments. Your first rotation will be found by us based on your background, skills and development and will span the first year. For you second and third assignment you will be in charge of finding a position which suits your interests and learning objectives yourself. For example, you can work at one of our Business Units in the Netherlands such as Pensions or Non-Life or at one of our expertise offices abroad in the field of data science or actuarial sciences. Alternatively, you could choose to work at one of our brands such as OHRA or Movir. Of course, you can also decide to go to our head office in The Hague, for example at Group Risk. Long story short, there is no pre-set path; you can work anywhere in the organisation and can tailor the Traineeship to match with your ambitions and desires.
