Help shape how a global bank manages interest rate risk. In this role, you will build and support models that quantify balance sheet sensitivity to rate and volatility moves. You will partner closely with risk managers, Treasury stakeholders, and technology teams to deliver production-quality analytics that drive decisions.
As a Vice President Quantitative Researcher in the Asset and Liability Management Quantitative Research team, you will build and support interest rate risk and pricing models on the firm's quantitative analytics platform, with a primary focus on deposits, callable instruments, municipal securities, swaptions, and linear rates. You will own the modeling of behavioral and optionality features across the banking book, calibrate the interest rate and volatility models that underpin our analytics, and ensure models meet internal risk and accounting requirements. You will partner closely with risk managers, Treasury stakeholders, technology, and model risk governance to deliver robust analytics with measurable business impact. This is a banking-book interest rate risk role focused on asset and liability management and structural rate exposure, not trading-desk margin or clearing.
