This posting is for a position within Risk and Finance Analytics (RAFA), a business unit within ERS. The successful candidate will work alongside other consultants and product managers to solve regulatory and business challenges faced by today's financial institutions. Generally, engagements involve the development, customization, and implementation of credit risk management and financial accounting solutions. Examples of analysis include forecasting defaults and recoveries, calculating expected credit loss, stress testing, internal risk rating quantification, and conducting other types of credit and finance-related analysis, often utilizing large datasets and Moody's software products.

Analysts will gain first-hand experience applying their skills to solve our clients' real-world problems, and to help interpret the results in a business context. Ideal candidates for this role will be able to lead work streams for client projects with limited oversight, have excellent organizational skills, be detail oriented, and possess strong quantitative or accounting backgrounds.
During a typical client engagement, you will begin by working with the client to understand the issue or challenge at hand. You will then help lead in the development of a plan to address the challenge, along with a team of business and technical analysts. The role requires thought leadership, strategic thinking, and proficiency with both technical and operational details of the solution.
Representative RAFA client engagements include risk rating enhancement, allowance quantification (CECL/IFRS 9), PD/LGD/EAD modeling, CCAR/DFAST stress testing, Basel II/III implementation, and economic capital analysis, risk-based pricing, and general credit and finance related advisory services. RAFA consultants work closely with colleagues from across Moody's Analytics.

Specific duties include:

• Lead project streams. Take ownership for specific deliverables associated with client engagements. Provide direction and assistance to the project team implementing Moody's software, performing analysis, developing models, producing documentation, and preparing presentations.
• Create confidence with clients. Demonstrate subject matter knowledge and a commitment to excellence to all current and prospective clients.
• Ensure that assigned deliverables are provided to clients on time and on budget.
• Demonstrate thought leadership. Show initiative and creativity in designing solutions for unique client challenges.

This position may be filled in either our New York City or San Francisco offices, depending on various factors including the preferences of the successful candidate. Travel requirements are generally around 20% to 40%, but the actual frequency may vary depending on client needs.

Qualifications
Required • Minimum five (5) years of experience with a financial institution, risk management consultancy/software vendor, audit firm, or national financial regulator.
• Experience with bank regulations and accounting standards, such as CCAR (DFAST), CECL, Basel II & III, model risk management guidance, etc.
• Minimum master's degree or equivalent from an internationally recognized institution. CPA, CFA, PRM, or FRM designations are a plus.
• Minimum fluency in English. Working knowledge of Spanish is a plus. Any other language proficiencies are helpful.

Preferred • Track record of working well in team environments and contributing innovative ideas.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with an ability to communicate complex concepts to a senior audience.
• Strong, proven analytical skills with ability to coach/guide less experienced analysts.
• Understanding of the organizational structure and business model of commercial banks. Similar understanding of investment banks a plus.
• Experience successfully designing and applying basic statistical tests (e.g., regression analysis, time series analysis, t-tests, etc.).
• Proficiency with Excel and PowerPoint; knowledge of Microsoft Project a plus.
• Knowledge of Moody's RiskCalc, CMM, RiskFrontier, RiskAnalyst, Lending Cloud, and CreditLens a plus.
