The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, governance, and execution of stress tests across various risk categories, including credit, market, liquidity, operational, and non-financial risks. This role also involves the development and management of a CCAR program from a risk perspective, ensuring that stress testing methodologies and processes align with U.S. regulatory expectations and the company's standards. The Executive Director will provide independent challenge, aggregate stress testing outputs for senior management, and integrate results into capital planning and strategic decision-making. Close coordination with various risk and financial functions is essential, as is the drive for continuous enhancement of stress testing capabilities.
