About this opportunity

An excellent opportunity has arisen within the Treasury & Trading Market Risk team within the Risk Science Office. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team in a changing and challenging environment, which offers considerable scope for personal development. This team’s main aim is to provide robust and informed challenge to the business in relation to market risks affecting the Group. This is a "consultancy style" market risk role with the opportunity for exposure to both trading and banking books.

Day to day, you will:

Act as a business liaison to help identify and understand the evolution of market risk including tracking issues and raising and closing of actions where appropriate.

Provide independent second line opinion on frontline proposals. This includes, but is not limited to; business proposals, new products, risk appetite, funding plans & issuance, balance sheet management activities and impact assessments of changes to market risk regulations.

Contribute to the revision, improvement and embedding of the market risk framework

We review our strategies, risk appetite and policies on a dynamic basis.

Develop & maintain a high level of sector knowledge. Be aware of changes in the economy which will affect our customers.

Undertake ad hoc projects, build effective relationships with key partners and provide a focus for expert guidance on all market risk issues.

We also regularly contribute to initiatives within Market Risk and a versatile approach and ability to respond to tight deadlines is needed to achieve this.
