Job Description

This is a hands-on delivery role that explicitly combines Technical Business Analysis and Engineering/Development.

What You'll Deliver:

You will lead and implement technology initiatives that support Liquidity Risk Management capabilities such as cash positioning, funding and maturity profiles, collateral/margin impacts, liquidity metrics, stress testing/scenario outputs, limits/threshold monitoring, and internal/regulatory-oriented reporting, with strong data lineage, controls, and auditability.

Key Responsibilities:

End-to-End Delivery & Stakeholder Leadership
  • Lead delivery of Liquidity Risk technology enhancements and new onboarding/integration initiatives across Liquidity Risk, Treasury/Funding, Finance, Operations, and IT.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for scope, priorities, dependencies, and issue resolution; communicate status and risks clearly to senior stakeholders.
  • Contribute to delivery standards/best practices; mentor junior team members as needed.

Hands-On Engineering: Data, Code, and Production Readiness
  • Develop and optimize advanced SQL to support liquidity metric calculations, exposure/aggregation views, reconciliations, controls, and drill-down diagnostics (joins, CTEs, window functions; performance tuning concepts).
  • Build Python tooling for data transformation, automation, monitoring/diagnostics, and analytical workflows (pandas/batch patterns preferred).
  • Use Unix/Linux and shell scripting to support batch processes, operational tooling, and production support diagnostics.
  • Perform root-cause analysis for data/metric/reporting breaks (mappings, identifiers, cutoffs/timing, model assumptions/inputs) and drive remediation to closure.

Liquidity Data Enablement: Cash, Funding, Collateral & Flows
  • Analyze and validate core liquidity inputs including cash balances, settlement/payment flows, secured/unsecured funding, collateral movements, margin, and maturity profiles.
  • Define and implement mappings and controls from upstream sources (e.g., Treasury platforms, GL/subledger, payments, collateral/margin systems, market/security master where needed) to downstream consumers (liquidity risk engines, stress pipelines, dashboards, internal reporting).
  • Build reconciliations and exception monitoring for cash positions, funding balances, and flow projections, including completeness checks and end-of-day cutoff logic.

Liquidity Metrics, Stress Testing & Reporting Traceability
  • Enhance analytics pipelines for metrics such as liquidity buffers, survival horizon, cash flow gap/laddering, concentration, encumbrance, funding mix, and stress/scenario impacts.
  • Support limit/threshold monitoring through drill-downs and roll forwards.
  • Ensure strong traceability: source balances/flows 12 transformations 12 liquidity metrics 12 reports, with audit-ready evidence and reproducibility.

Documentation, Controls & SDLC Governance
  • Produce and maintain high-quality artifacts: business/functional requirements, technical specs, solution designs, data dictionaries/mappings, test plans, validation evidence, and release notes.
  • Manage user stories, defects, and delivery workflows in JIRA (Confluence preferred).

  • Python for automation and analysis; ability to build pragmatic tooling that improves reliability and speed of investigation.
  • Unix/Linux command line and shell scripting; comfort supporting batch cycles, cutoffs, restarts, and operational diagnostics.
  • Strong understanding of data modeling and data lineage across multiple upstream/downstream systems.
  • SDLC discipline with JIRA; strong testing/UAT and release execution experience.

Liquidity Risk / Treasury Domain:
  • Strong understanding of Liquidity Risk Management concepts and data, including:
    • cash positioning, currencies, legal entities, liquidity buffers funding sources/maturities, rollovers, concentration
    • cash flow forecasting/laddering, settlement/payment flows
    • collateral/margin/encumbrance impacts
    • stress testing/scenario analysis, limits and monitoring
    • Experience with liquidity risk systems, treasury platforms, or liquidity reporting frameworks strongly preferred.
