Job opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Treasury Risk Professional for a central role within the independent Risk function of a renowned Swiss financial institution. This position is ideal for candidates who understand liquidity and funding risk not just as a constant reporting duty, but as a complex interplay of balance sheet, cash flow, and funding dynamics, enabling them to develop a well-rounded independent Risk view.
In this position, you will play a pivotal role in the independent assessment of the institution's liquidity, funding, and balance sheet risks. You will serve as a valuable sparring partner for Treasury, the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), and other relevant stakeholders. Your key responsibilities will include:
A particular emphasis is placed on proactive risk analysis. You will assess how factors such as deposit outflows, market stress, altered haircuts, restricted market liquidity, and funding disruptions could impact the institution's liquidity and balance sheet position. This will allow you to develop an independent Risk view on the future development of these areas and to challenge key assumptions and models, including those related to deposit behavior, roll-over rates, haircuts, and cash flow modeling.
Your analyses will be distilled into clear statements for the CRO, ALCO, and relevant Risk Committees.
We are looking for a seasoned Treasury/Risk specialist with a comprehensive understanding of bank balance sheets, liquidity, and funding. Your experience may come from Treasury Risk, Liquidity Risk, Asset and Liability Management (ALM), or a comparable environment. The essential quality we seek is the ability to combine quantitative analyses with a strong economic understanding of the balance sheet and its risk drivers.
You should be familiar with relevant regulatory requirements and metrics, comfortable discussing liquidity stress testing, cash flow modeling, funding concentration, and balance sheet analytics. Additionally, you should be skilled in simplifying complex analyses into essential statements and presenting them clearly and convincingly to senior stakeholders.
This position offers exceptional breadth of expertise and visibility within a small expert team. Rather than being confined to a narrowly defined specialty, you will gain insights into the interconnections between liquidity, funding, balance sheet, capital, and leverage, and can actively influence the Risk view on these matters.
The search is being conducted discreetly. We would be happy to provide more information about the institution, its organizational structure, and the framework conditions during a confidential personal conversation.
