Overview
You are analytically minded, curious about financial markets, and motivated by solving complex problems that influence real trading and balance‐sheet decisions.
We are a specialist analytics and modelling team within Group Treasury, supporting CIO Trading Desks with robust market risk models and high‐quality insights.
Together we can strengthen the Group's market risk capability by delivering trusted models and analysis that support sound risk management and sustainable financial performance.
Do what matters
The Chief Investment Office (CIO) within Group Treasury manages the non-traded market risk of the Group, including the interest rate, foreign exchange and credit spread risks associated with the Group's lending and deposit taking business, and investment of the Group's liquid assets and shareholder funds.
See yourself in the team
The CIO Analytics and Modelling team provides analytical and modelling support for the CIO Trading Desks as well as design, development and maintenance of Group Treasury's market risk models including Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) and Standardised Initial Margin (SIMM) models.
CBA is Australia's leading banking institution. Its large balance sheet means extensive scope for improvements in CBA's profitability by providing timely insights and analysis.
As a Senior Analyst – Market Risk Modelling, you will assist in the design and implementation of the Group's market risk models and develop analytical infrastructure to assist in trading strategy development for the CIO.
Key Responsibilities
A feature of the role is that it offers a great degree of exposures to financial markets activities.

* Develop tools and perform analysis to support the financial performance of the CIO trading desks
* Implement continuous process improvements and productivity gains
* Continually develop relationships with relevant business units across the organisation
* Adhere to CBA's Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct sets the standards of behaviour, actions and decisions we expect from our people
