Job DescriptionCorporate Treasury is a division within the CFO group where part of their responsibility is to provide executive management with accurate, timely, and comprehensive forecasts of the balance sheet and net interest income (NII). Another critical Treasury function is the measurement and analysis of Interest Rate Risk (IRR) and Comprehensive Earnings at Risk. The latter evaluates the Bank’s earning sensitivity due to interest rate shocks with the corresponding economic shocks. This information provides the framework for the company to position its balance sheet consistent with its risk appetite and expectations for changes in interest rates and economic outlook. Corporate Treasury’s Quantitative Finance group supports these efforts by developing quantitative systems, models, and methods that link the Bank’s balance sheet, net interest income, and noninterest income to the broader macroeconomic environment and its perturbations.
Quantitative Finance is looking for a leader in econometric modeling who will facilitate the development of proprietary models that connect the interest rate outlook to broader economic sensitivities. This role will partner with senior to executive leaders and oversees a team whose primary purpose is to create, validate, test, document, implement, and/or oversee usage of complex econometric models. The models may cover a variety of economic indicators; however, all models are used as part of a broader process supporting financial decision-making. Specific results focus on documenting the creation and/or testing of advanced statistical models and communicating such models to stakeholders within the Bank. Responsible for oversight of a team whose deliverables include the creation of model development and/or validation documentation such as: presentations, written reports, model or reporting code documentation, business requirements, monitoring reports, and related code, and procedures.
