Your judgment will help strengthen model performance, production controls, data quality, and governance across business-as-usual and capital stress-testing processes.

 

You will collaborate across Treasury Capital Markets, Investment Strategy, Finance, Technology, Model Risk Oversight, and external vendor teams to solve complex platform and modeling challenges. Through technical leadership, clear communication, and practical problem-solving, you will establish modeling standards, mentor colleagues, and translate complex analytical and accounting concepts into insights that support sound decisions and meaningful business outcomes.
