Company Overview
Our client is a financial services group with an integrated global network spanning over 30 countries. By connecting markets our client services the needs of individuals, institutions, corporates and governments through its three business divisions: Retail, Asset Management, and Wholesale (Global Markets and Investment Banking).
Department Overview
The Risk Management Department is broadly organised according to the main risk classes; Credit Risk Management, Market Risk Management, Operational Risk Management and New Products/Business.
The Risk Management team works to provide a firm wide capital management framework, which takes into account the availability and cost of capital, its effective utilisation within and across business lines and the overall capital adequacy of the firm. Risk Management's key activities include ensuring transparency and effectively managing market, credit, liquidity, concentration and tail risk within the risk appetite of the firm and monitoring the effectiveness of capital utilisation through the use of limit structures, with an emphasis on stress testing and risk adjusted returns on capital efficiency measures.
As part of the substitutive global Book of Work covering both regulatory and incremental business change there is a requirement for a strong delivery focused business analyst to work across a number of initiatives on a global basis.
