About the team and the role
As a key component of Market & Counterparty Credit Risk Analytics (MCRA), Market Risk teams are responsible for the development, enhancement, and ongoing calibration of Market Risk models that are used in both day-to-day risk management and regulatory capital measurement. Market Risk models measure the downside risk due to financial market price and rate fluctuations, as well as the risk due to bond and equity issuer default. The scope covers major risk classes including FX, interest rate, credit, equity, commodity, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities.
With the introduction of the new Basel Minimum Capital Requirement on Market Risk, also known as FRTB (Fundamental Review of the Trading Book), the Market Risk IMA Analytics team is developing the next generation of market risk models (sometimes referred to as “FRTB models”), which include the use of front office pricing models to measure market risk. These efforts require higher quality historical data for model calibration and more frequent updates to the model.
As a member of the MCRA FRTB IMA Analytics team, the role will develop, implement, test, and maintain quantitative models to measure market risk for trading book products across all asset classes. Responsibilities include:
- Gain an understanding of the current market risk model framework, perform model analysis, and update model parameters as required.
- Develop and enhance the current models and processes according to Model Risk Management Policy requirements.
- Contribute to the new model and process development for FRTB (the future market risk regulatory capital rule).
- Interact with stakeholders in the model life cycle, including market risk managers (as model sponsors), front office data providers, technology (for model implementation), and the model validation team. Interaction with regulators may be required.
- Provide support to risk managers and businesses on market risk model-related topics.
Qualifications:
- Good quantitative skills with knowledge and experience in building mathematical/statistical models.
- Market risk modeling experience and financial engineering knowledge.
- Good programming skills in languages such as Python, Spark, R, C++. Familiarity with Windows and UNIX/Linux operating environments.
- Big data experience and familiarity with big data processing platforms.

- Self-motivated and detail-oriented, with the capability to handle multiple projects simultaneously.
