9 Month FTC
London | Hybrid (3 days a week in the London office)

We're working with a growing UK banking client who are looking for an experienced Market & Liquidity Risk Analyst to join their Risk function on a 9-month maternity cover contract.

This is a hands-on role within a small team, so they're looking for someone who can come in and get up to speed quickly with minimal supervision.

The role is primarily focused on Market Risk, with around 80% of your time spent on BAU activity and the remainder supporting projects, analytics and process improvements.

What you'll be doing

• Monitoring daily market risk exposures, limits and key risk indicators
• Producing and reviewing regular market risk MI and reporting
• Monitoring activity across FX, bonds, derivatives and repo
• Investigating limit utilisation, risk movements and potential breaches
• Providing independent challenge to Markets and Treasury and escalating issues where appropriate
• Supporting market risk stress testing and scenario analysis
• Assessing the market risk implications of new products and activities
• Supporting RCSA, risk procedures, controls and audit activity
• Providing second-line review and challenge around regulatory reporting
• Supporting liquidity and counterparty risk analysis where required
• Working with large datasets to validate information, investigate discrepancies and improve risk reporting
• Supporting projects around data analytics, automation and reporting improvements

What they're looking for

We're particularly interested in people with a solid Market Risk background within banking or financial services.

You'll ideally have experience of:

• Day-to-day Market Risk monitoring
• Risk limits and exposure monitoring
• VaR and/or other quantitative risk measures
• Stress testing and scenario analysis
• Financial markets products such as FX, fixed income, derivatives or repo
• Working with Markets and/or Treasury
• Challenging and escalating risk issues
• Analysing and validating large amounts of risk data
• Producing MI for senior risk stakeholders

Experience of Liquidity Risk, Counterparty Credit Risk, ICAAP/ILAAP, Python, SQL, Alteryx or Bloomberg would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

A quantitative or analytical degree would also be beneficial.

The opportunity

This is a good opportunity for an experienced Market Risk professional who enjoys being close to the business rather than working purely on projects or transformation.

You'll have exposure across Market Risk, Liquidity Risk and Counterparty Risk, working closely with Markets, Treasury, Finance and senior Risk stakeholders.

Because it's a small team, you'll have genuine responsibility and the opportunity to make an impact from day one.

This is a 9-month FTC and would suit someone who is comfortable taking on a hands-on Market Risk role with a strong BAU focus.
