Job Posting 08-Aug-2023, 6:59:26 AM

Directorate Description
The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people. The Bank of England is a diverse organisation.

Each of its 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

The Banking Supervision directorate is responsible for the supervision of over 600 banks, building societies and credit unions. Its aim is to contribute to a safe, sound and competitive UK banking system through delivering effective prudential supervision. The UK Deposit Takers Supervision Directorate (UKDT) is responsible for supervising UK firms.

Division and team overview
The UKDT Specialists team sits within the Large Mutual and Supervisory Specialists Division (LMASSD) in UKDT.

LMASSD aims to be approachable, pragmatic and outcomes-focused in our dealings with internal and external stakeholders, and foster an open, inclusive culture and working environment.

The UKDT Specialists team consists of three teams responsible for supporting supervision of non-systemic UK deposit takers with specialist risk assessments: (i) Liquidity and Asset & Liability Management (LALM), (ii) Capital Assessment Team, and (iii) Credit.

The LALM team deals with all liquidity, funding and asset & liability management (ALM) issues facing non-systemic UK banks and building societies.

Job description
Two new opportunities have arisen to join the LALM team as a Scale E Technical Specialist.

The roles provide the opportunity to deliver high quality liquidity and ALM support to supervisors across the broad range of non-systemic UK banks and building societies.

The successful jobholders will work collaboratively with peers in the Capital Assessment Team, and widely across UKDT and the Bank as a whole to provide well-informed technical advice to supervisors.

For example, the roles will cover some or all of the following:

LSREPs, which typically include a review of a firm's ILAAP and supporting materials, leading of an onsite or virtual visit, production of a report assessing the material risks to the firm's liquidity and asset & liability management and presenting findings to an internal panel.
Providing support to new bank authorisations via reviewing a firm's proposed business model and treasury management. It also involves providing constructive feedback to potential new banks to enable them to establish appropriate policies and procedures to operate as an authorised bank.
Crossfirm thematic analysis through the production and review of quantitative and qualitative information to assess current and emerging risks and propose mitigations.
Analysis of and input to policy developments to determine the prudential impacts on nonsystemic firms, identifying potential consequences and proposing and implementing solutions where risks are identified.

Role requirements
Minimum (Essential) Criteria

Excellent knowledge of the drivers and management of liquidity and funding risks or interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) is required, with knowledge of both desirable.
Experience of working in Treasury within the financial services sector or regulatory/supervisory experience covering treasury risks.
Strong understanding of the broader macroeconomic environment and risks to the business models of banks and building societies.
Ability to understand and analyse quantitative and qualitative information to form judgments about relative levels of risk.
Ability to produce clear and appropriate oral and written communication tailored to circumstances and potentially delivering difficult messages, for example report writing, engaging with senior executives, presenting at Committees.

Desirable criteria

Well organised, driven, comfortable prioritising and delivering under own initiative, with a trackrecord of delivering on objectives.
Great at working in a team to achieve common aims.
Knowledge of ALM and Treasury Management Systems.
Experience of data manipulation tools (e.g. SAS, SQL, R) and data visualisation techniques (Excel, Tableau etc.)
Relevant degree and/or professional qualification.
