  • Maintain communication between the lines of business and Model Validation (MV) and Model Governance (MG) regarding the development of new models or changes in the application of existing models, to facilitate the involvement of MV early in the development process. This includes reviewing documentation, testing model assumptions and data requirements prior to the model being vetted, and advising the lines of business and MV of any clear deficiencies.
  • Monitor the use of models for consistency with data requirements and limitations identified by MV, the line of business, and/or VPC and advise the lines of business and other stakeholders if a model is being used under a condition that is contraindicated.
  • Review use of valuation methodologies and models for consistency across the trading and underwriting products and geographical locations and recommend changes as required.
  • Identify, assess, and recommend valuation reserves or adjustments for acceptance by senior line of business and Market Risk executives. Escalate disagreements between lines of business and VPC with respect to valuation reserves or adjustments.
  • Proactively identify and report to EVP & Senior Market Risk Officer and Market Risk Managing Directors, specific positions, exposures or other factors that expose the Bank to unusual, unexpected, inappropriate or otherwise not fully identified or quantified valuation issues and recommend solutions to remedy such issues or exposures.

  • Market Risk Valuation experience
  • Excellent understanding of Commodity and FX derivative products and markets, as well as the valuation and risk management methodologies associated with these
