Full Job Description
Your Opportunity

As a Manager (AI & Data Science), you will be part of the Product Modeling team within the Treasury Modeling department, serving as a Securities Lending Quant dedicated to the Securities Lending trading desk. The Product Modeling team is responsible for data-driven deposit, margin, and securities lending/borrowing analytics, developing and maintaining models that support product balance forecasting, pricing, and overall P&L management across these businesses.

A key focus of our team is to drive forward the model automation efforts across the product modeling team. We are currently building out a scalable and robust infrastructure that allows us to run forecast scenarios for BAU, market risk, and interest rate risk in a highly automated and controlled fashion. Additionally, our team is at the forefront of researching and developing new analytics explaining movements in deposits, margin loans and securities lending/borrowing over various time frames.  Based on these analytics, we develop new models that go through a rigorous model validation process.  Our analytics and models provide valuable and actionable insights to senior stakeholders not only within Treasury, but also across the broader Finance organization and the firm overall.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to use a wide variety of skills. Your highly quantitative background, strong programming skills, and experience working with large datasets will help you extract valuable insights for the Securities Lending business. Your modeling background will enable you to translate those insights into robust forecasting, pricing, and risk models, while your programming experience will allow you to write production-level code under a rigorous change management process. Your entrepreneurial spirit will help you identify opportunities to improve decision-making and support the bottom line of the Securities Lending trading desk. While doing all this, you will collaborate closely with desk stakeholders and present your results and observations to a wide group of partners.

If you are looking for a role where you can leverage all these skills and want to be part of a very impactful and driven team within the Treasury organization, we encourage you to apply.
