• Proven expertise in the measurement of CCR exposures using methods such as Potential Future Exposure (PFE), factor sensitivities (Greeks), and stress testing.
• Strong understanding of OTC derivatives, securities financing transactions, and their associated markets, trading strategies, and pricing models.
• Solid understanding of risk management and control frameworks for CCR, including risk mitigation techniques like collateralization and margining.
• Education: BA/BSc /equivalent or higher degree in Finance, Economics or a related field.
