This position assists both the Risk Manager (RM) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Officer and will have dedicated responsibilities in these functional areas. The Anti-Money Laundering activities have besides a European focus also a global outreach. For the Risk function, the main focus is our Luxembourg multi-investor open-ended fund.

Prologis is pursuing every opportunity to streamline its organization and processes. A focus on continuous process improvement is expected. The ability to function effectively in a matrixed organization, both from a managerial standpoint and a functional standpoint, will be key. As our credo is ahead of what’s next, continuous improvement and innovation is crucial in every job. Your views and input are valued and expected.

What’s needed in order to do that:

The following items are part of the ongoing, quarterly and annual processes:

• RM: Perform checks and (stress) tests on direct and indirect risks the fund is exposed to.
• RM: Report and discuss the test results with the Risk Manager for finalisation and preparation for reporting to the board members of the fund.

• RM/AML: Together with the Risk Manager and Anti-Money Laundering Reporting Officer, prepare an annual report of risk and AML activities and findings to the board members and for filing to the regulatory authorities.
• RM/AML: Interact with internal and external audit department if/when applicable.

As can be seen from the above, the role is hands-on and requires analytical skills in a variety of disciplines.
