The Role Responsibilities
Treasury works closely with senior management, the businesses, Country CEOs / CFOs, and Finance to manage and promote the bank's liquidity, capital and balance sheet position. Within Treasury, the Treasury Liquidity function is responsible to driving the strategic liquidity agenda, including Funds Transfer Pricing ('FTP') and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Booking ('IRRBB'). Within this context, the FTP & IRRBB team works with key stakeholders at the country level to ensure policy application, and with a broader universe of stakeholders to ensure the application of policy is appropriate to drive the strategic outcomes for the balance sheet.
The foundation for this is the identification, risk capture and measurement of interest rate characteristics of client facing exposures. A key function of the FTP approach is to neutralise, to the extent feasible, the interest rate risk in the business, primarily by transferring this risk to Treasury. This is done by using an internal price between the Treasury and the business that matches the underlying interest rate used between the business and their clients for the given asset, liability, or portfolio.
This role will be focused on working directly with the Head of FTP and FTP & IRRBB team members to partner with the business to identify interest rate risk features and characteristics of business activity. This includes building an understanding of how movement in rates affects client pricing across the product suite.

• Work with Treasury Markets to appreciate the ability to effectively hedge or otherwise neutralize the resulting exposure.
