Yorkshire Building Society, Leeds, United Kingdom

Are you passionate about making a difference and using your technical skills collaboratively to deliver real change? If so, we may have the role for you!

We are excited to offer a fixed-term contract for a Financial Modelling Manager to join our Financial Modelling team. In this role, you'll build and maintain Asset and Liability Management (ALM) models, as well as models used for planning and pricing across Finance.

The role is available for either: 3 months full-time (35 hours/week) or 6 months part-time (17.5 hours/week).

This position is a backfill for project work and may be tailored to the successful candidate's interests within the Financial Modelling team. It's an exciting time to join as the Society embarks on an ambitious growth plan, with Financial Modelling at the core of enabling this growth through transforming the Finance Modelling landscape.

This is a hybrid role, involving remote work and some onsite presence at our central Leeds office.

About the role

• Design, develop, and deliver new models or redevelop existing models to support the Society's Finance teams, including ALM, financial planning, and pricing.
• Ensure robust controls and comprehensive documentation are in place.
• Collaborate with users to support appropriate model use and understanding of controls.

About you

What will you bring to the role?

• Proven experience working with ALM models within financial services, including forecasting the balance sheet and knowledge of treasury instruments used to manage interest rate risk.
• Experience in data manipulation and modelling using SQL, Excel, and other tools.
• Strong communication, engagement, and influencing skills, with the ability to engage at all levels.

Desirable skills include:

• Knowledge of Treasury Management Systems such as Murex.
• Experience using Python, VBA, or other forecasting software.
• Knowledge of balance sheet risk metrics and how to model them.
• Broader understanding of financial services and the building society business model.
