Your career at Deutsche Börse Group

Eurex Clearing's Risk Management department is responsible for the strategic development of the risk management framework of the Central Counterparty (CCP). Default Management Section under Risk Management department is responsible for the Default Management Process (DMP) of the CCP. Goal of the DMP is to re-balance the CCP by establishing new transactions with its Clearing Members which replace those transactions that have been terminated with the defaulted Clearing Member.

To achieve this goal, we need precise operational processes, as well as stable and efficient tools. As an Intern in the Default Management Section, you will participate in the enhancement and the creation of such tools and processes as part of long-term projects. Additionally, you will support our daily activities in evaluating our potential market and counterparty risk.
