Testimonial Produktberatung KfW IPEX-Bank

High expectations for professional challenges and corporate culture fully met

Before I joined KfW IPEX-Bank, I had come to know and appreciate this institute as a very proficient and reliable financing partner during my job in export and project finance at a major German bank. So, my expectations not only of the professional challenge but also of the corporate culture and social competence were high and have been fulfilled! Specifically, I enjoy working with specialists from the relevant sector departments and Legal Affairs to help export-oriented medium-sized companies in their internationalisation efforts.

I am very pleased to have joined the team of specialists at KfW IPEX-Bank as a product advisor for ECA credit insurance and export financing and to have received all the support I’ve been given. The range of tasks that this team carries out is impressive and I find the field as a whole very interesting. I mainly work as a contact/advisor for market departments in all aspects of credit insurance.

KfW IPEX-Bank made it easy for me to find my feet and settle into what is a new environment for me fairly quickly. I was helped not only by the incredibly informative induction event "A tour of KfW IPEX-Bank", but also particularly by the regular and intensive professional exchanges with my knowledgeable colleagues and managers, as well as their extraordinary willingness at all times to answer the various questions that new employees have.

My team and KfW IPEX-Bank as a whole placed a lot of trust in me right from the start, which delighted and motivated me. This was demonstrated, for example, by the fact that I was entrusted with responsible tasks very early on, and that I was able to organise my working hours flexibly in consultation with my manager.

Overall, I feel extremely comfortable at KfW IPEX-Bank, not just professionally, but personally as well, and I particularly appreciate the flat hierarchy of the company.

Mastering exciting and challenging tasks together as a team

I’ve always enjoyed working with numbers and Excel: after completing my studies in Economics, I started my career at an auditing and business consultancy in the Financial Services department. Here, I was able to get to know KfW as a Group as well as KfW IPEX-Bank and its employees through several assignments. The company culture and the employees' sociability in particular appealed to me right from the start! A few years later, I decided to join KfW myself.

After my first job in accounting at KfW, I moved to the Financial Modelling team at KfW IPEX-Bank. The simple change within the Group and the strong team spirit – both with my colleagues and my managers – meant that I was quickly able to familiarise myself with my role at KfW IPEX-Bank and my new professional challenges.

In the Financial Modelling team, we help the sector departments to structure individual financing solutions. To do this, we create tailored cash flow models and analyse externally created financial models in accordance with international best practice standards. These models can be used to verify the assumptions of the transaction and test resilience through various sensitivity analyses. The challenge here is to always maintain an overview of the models and identify opportunities as well as risks.

I find the varied nature of the transactions I am involved with particularly exciting. These range from a wind farm in Finland to a wastewater treatment plant in Saudi Arabia, for example. I am always able to work closely with the sector departments. Even when we are under time pressure, there is always a pleasant working atmosphere and everybody always works well as a team.

If you’re looking for exciting and challenging tasks and like to work as a team, KfW IPEX-Bank is the perfect employer for you!
