  • Controls & Documentation: Strengthen documentation quality, review routines, assumptions, and governance standards across stresstesting and CCAR processes.
  • Process & Data Enhancement: Improve data accuracy, reporting automation, visualization capabilities, and overall stresstesting workflow efficiency.
  • CrossFunctional Collaboration: Work closely with Front Office, Market Risk, Finance, Enterprise Stress Testing, Quant teams, and Technology to ensure consistent and complete representation of CCR stress exposures.
Qualifications and Skills
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field; Master's degree or professional certifications (e.g., CFA, FRM) are a plus.
  • Experience: 7-10+ years of relevant experience in Counterparty Credit Risk, or Stress Testing, with strong familiarity in derivatives and SFT exposure analytics.
  • Stress Testing Expertise: Direct experience executing stresstesting frameworks (e.g., CCAR), including scenario design, exposure projection, and result interpretation.
  • Technical Skills: Strong understanding of PFE, EPE, EAD, collateral and netting structures, and modeldriven exposure outputs; proficiency with Excel and comfort with analytical tools (e.g., Python, visualization platforms).
  • Analytical Capability: Ability to synthesize large datasets, identify exposure drivers, assess vulnerabilities, and provide effective challenge.
  • Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal ability to present complex risk analytics clearly to senior management and nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Risk & Governance Mindset: Demonstrated discipline in documentation, review controls, stresstesting governance, and adherence to regulatory expectations.
