Manager, Interest Rate Risk

I am currently partnering with a Tier 1 bank in search of an experienced IRRBB professional to join them in the development of their growing UK function.

Reporting into the Senior Treasury Manager, responsible for IRRBB across the UK entity, and working within a small team, this role has an interesting blend of hands on a strategic responsibility for supporting the development of the UK function.

In the words of the hiring manager, what sets this opportunity apart from others is that whilst a lot of the Tier 1's have highly developed IRRBB capabilities, the firm are still very much on a growth journey with theirs, which means you'll have the opportunity to gain a lot of unique exposure and fast track your own growth in an area that's increasingly sought after in the market.
