  • Contribute to the design, enhancement, and governance of stress testing frameworks and controls related to IRRBB and structural balance sheet risks
  • Prepare and present in-depth historical and forward-looking analyses to support discussions with senior stakeholders and decision-making bodies.
  • Participate in the external disclosure and internal reporting processes, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and regulatory alignment
