What you'll do:

As a Risk Officer Market and Liquidity based in Manila with a hybrid work setup, you will play an integral role in identifying potential threats to the organisation’s financial stability. Your day-to-day activities will involve monitoring complex market movements across trading activities—such as interest rate fluctuations or foreign exchange volatility—and analysing their impact using sophisticated quantitative tools. You will conduct rigorous stress tests on interest rate scenarios while evaluating underlying behavioural assumptions that affect the balance sheet. By preparing insightful reports for senior leaders and committees, you will help shape strategic decisions that protect the bank’s interests. Your expertise will also be crucial in refining existing policies so they remain resilient amid changing regulatory landscapes. Success in this position requires not only technical proficiency but also strong interpersonal skills for effective collaboration with various teams.

• Perform interest rate stress testing and scenario analysis by evaluating behavioural assumptions as well as structural balance sheet risks.
• Assess liquidity risk across on- and off-balance sheet exposures by preparing cash flow projections, funding concentration analyses, Minimum Cumulative Outflow (MCO), Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) metrics.
• Evaluate market and liquidity risk exposures against approved risk appetite limits and regulatory requirements, escalating material breaches or emerging concerns as appropriate.
• Prepare detailed risk reports and dashboards for Senior Management and Risk Committees to support informed decision-making.
• Support ongoing enhancement of market and liquidity risk policies, frameworks, procedures, ensuring they remain robust and compliant with evolving regulations.
• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders including Treasury, Finance, Audit, Compliance, and other business units to ensure effective communication of risk matters.
