Who you are

• Extensive experience in public/government affairs, policy analysis, or a similar advisory role-preferably in the financial sector and / or relevant public sector organisations (ministries, supervisors)
• Strong macro-economic and financial market understanding: you can quickly connect market developments to political and regulatory realities
• Experience engaging with Dutch regulators (DNB, AFM) and understanding of their processes
• Insurance sector knowledge is a strong plus; you can quickly get to grips with specialist topics (risk, solvency, etc.)
• Excellent writing skills: you can distil complex issues into clear, concise, and persuasive memos and reports (in Dutch and English)
• Proven ability to advise at board level and operate in a high-pressure, high-stakes environment
• Experience leading a team and working cross-functionally
• Extensive network in The Hague and/or Brussels is a plus
