Background: HSH Nordbank became a key player in maritime financing but encountered significant challenges post-financial crises, leading to losses and defaults on loans.
Privatization occurred as part of EU Commission conditions stipulated for continued state support, culminating in the bank's rebranding to Hamburg Commercial Bank (HCOB).
A strategic restructuring was undertaken including drastic cuts in balance sheet size and focus on core activities.

Balance Sheet: 185 bn EUR (2009) down to 33.8 bn EUR (2021)
Return on Equity (ROE): From -20% (2009) to +5.9% (2021)
Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratios significantly improved.
Ideal candidates should possess degrees in economic sciences, business informatics, or similar fields.
