Corporate Treasury - Resource Deployment & Strategy - Analyst- Salt Lake City

Corporate Treasury plays a central role in the firm's overall strategy with responsibility for providing appropriate funding to support all firmwide activity while maximizing net interest income. The division raises funding and capital via public and private markets, allocates financial resources to facilitate client activity and strategic initiatives, and dynamically manages the firm's asset-liability risk and liquidity portfolio.  Corporate Treasury actively engages with public and private capital markets, ratings agencies, regulatory agencies, and internally with the firm's business lines. 

Who we look for:

Professionals in Corporate Treasury have an analytical mind set, exhibit intellectual curiosity and are from diverse academic backgrounds. We're looking for candidates who will thrive in a dynamic environment where attention-to-detail, multitasking and time management skills are essential. 

The division is ideal for collaborative individuals with strong quantitative skills, intellectual curiosity, and a commercial yet risk-conscious mindset. Working in the Corporate Treasury division, you will have exposure to all aspects of the firm, including new business activities and critical strategic programs. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are necessary to work successfully with internal and external stakeholders including leadership of the firm's business lines, its creditors, regulators and external counterparties.

About the Role:
