Partner with global markets and counterparty credit risk managers, model owners, and senior stakeholders to challenge assumptions, evaluate scenario outcomes, and strengthen stress-testing governance across the organization.
Contribute to the advancement of scenario design methodologies, analytical capabilities, and risk infrastructure through the development of innovative tools, models, dashboards, and visualization solutions.
Support regulatory examinations, model governance reviews, and internal oversight activities by presenting methodologies, analyses, and scenario results to senior management, risk committees, auditors, and regulators.
Serve as a trusted subject matter expert on market stress testing, providing insight into cross-asset market dynamics, regulatory developments, and emerging risks that could impact the firm's businesses and balance sheet.
