Job Description
What is the opportunity?
As part of the Group Risk Management team, the Associate Director, Market Risk Analytics is responsible for developing, maintaining, and monitoring the performance on an ongoing basis of models used for the measurement of Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) regulatory purposes, including multijurisdictional requirement (e.g., OSFI).

- Provide business requirements with technical implementation details and user acceptance criteria to technology teams for production deployment, and validate implementation using independently developed benchmark models.
- Document model methodologies, implementation details and testing results, and work with internal validation to facilitate their approval of the models.
- Develop tools to assess and monitor model performance, including assumptions and limitations, on an ongoing basis for reporting to the various model monitoring governance committees.
- Investigate and remediate modeling issues identified through ongoing monitoring or by internal validation.
- Re-assessment and testing of models, including assumptions and limitations and benchmarking against alternative models, and documentation of the results in models whitepapers and annual assessments for review by internal validation.
What do you need to succeed?
Must-have
- Experience in financial risk management and quantitative modeling, preferably within market risk.
- Strong analytical and problem solving skills
- Excellent computer programming skills (e.g. Python, MatLab)
- Strong data analysis skills (e.g. SQL and Excel)
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, especially in the explanation of complex modeling concepts to senior management and regulators

- Masters in Financial Engineering, Mathematical Finance, or equivalent. Alternatively, a degree in a quantitative discipline such as physics, mathematics, statistics or engineering.
- Knowledge of regulatory requirements for capitalization of market risk an asset
- Professional certification, such as Financial Risk Manager or Chartered Financial Analyst
What’s in it for you?
We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
