- Investigate and explain material PnL moves on a Trade Date and T+1 basis, acting as a key point of contact for traders, risk, and finance on all PnL-related queries.
- Develop systematic controls to validate and enhance PnL attribution processes, including automated reconciliations, threshold-based alerts, and exception reporting.
Valuations & Pricing
- Monitor and validate both real-time and end-of-day pricing for all fixed income instruments across Rates, Credit, and FX, including derivatives and structured products.
- Ensure accurate end-of-day marks are aligned with market data, internal valuation policies, and observable datasets (e.g., yield curves, credit spreads, volatility surfaces, correlations).
- Monitor portfolio valuations versus counterparty marks, investigate and reconcile material differences, and support fair value and dispute resolution processes.
Risk & Greeks
- Maintain a strong working knowledge of Greeks-based risk sensitivities (DV01, CS01, Vega, Theta, Rho, Gamma, and higher-order sensitivities) and their application to PnL attribution across fixed income derivatives.
- Collaborate with quants and risk teams to ensure risk factor decompositions used in PnL attribution are accurate and aligned with the firm's pricing and risk models.
- Support the testing and validation of new pricing models and their impact on PnL and risk reporting.
