A comprehensive understanding of regulatory requirements, including Basel, FSA, and OSFI for credit, market, operational, or liquidity risk, is a must. The candidate should have experience with at least one end-to-end implementation, ideally involving Basel 2 or Basel 3.
Furthermore, a minimum of three years of IT experience in system implementation, programming, or software product development is required. The candidate will be responsible for writing data extraction specifications and creating database structures for efficient data storage and liquidity computations, while also engaging in testing data extracts, addressing data gaps, and validating reports and final figures.
Knowledge of complex financial instruments such as derivatives, repurchase agreements, securitization products, leasing, fixed income, and various financial securities will be highly advantageous.
Strong communication skills and financial/risk expertise are crucial for conducting meetings with senior members of Group Treasury, Finance, and Group Risk Management.
We encourage candidates with a Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline (finance, economics, engineering, or mathematics) and significant experience in measuring/managing at least one financial risk type, preferably liquidity risk, to apply.
