You will work with senior client stakeholders to translate regulatory and business requirements into practical, technology-enabled solutions that improve risk and finance processes, optimise capital management and deliver measurable outcomes.

This is a senior, client-facing role for a techno-functional risk professional who can operate as a trusted advisor while remaining closely connected to solution design, configuration and implementation.

• Lead discovery workshops with senior banking executives, risk leaders, finance stakeholders and technology teams to understand business priorities, challenges and solution requirements.
• Translate complex regulatory, business and functional requirements into solution designs, analytical approaches, configuration requirements and implementation plans.
• Leverage advanced modeling, scenario analysis, and stress-testing techniques to translate business requirements into a fully developed system that enables customers to assess risk exposures, make informed decisions, and implement effective mitigation strategies.
• Advise clients on integrating risk and finance processes and automating RWA, expected credit loss, regulatory capital, ALM and stress-testing workflows.
• Provide technical and functional leadership throughout the solution lifecycle, including architecture discussions, data preparation, configuration, validation, testing and implementation support.
• Lead or support solution demonstrations, proofs of concept, executive presentations and other activities that communicate the business value of SAS risk solutions.
• Collaborate with SAS sales, consulting, delivery, product and industry teams to shape client solutions, support business development and deliver successful engagements across Asia Pacific.
• Contribute to SAS thought leadership, reusable consulting assets, delivery practices and industry engagement while helping colleagues build deeper banking risk capabilities.

What We're Looking For

• 10 years of relevant experience in financial risk management, risk advisory, enterprise risk technology or risk and finance transformation.
• Advanced knowledge of credit risk, IFRS 9 expected credit loss, Basel regulatory capital, end-to-end RWA calculations, credit risk mitigation and enterprise stress testing.
• Strong understanding of asset and liability management, including IRRBB, liquidity risk, balance-sheet optimisation, funds transfer pricing and associated regulatory frameworks.
• Practical knowledge of market risk and operational risk, together with an understanding of how these disciplines connect with broader enterprise risk and capital management.
• Hands-on, techno-functional experience translating business and regulatory requirements into solution designs, data requirements, configurations, testing approaches and implementation outcomes.
• Strong understanding of banking risk technology architectures, including data integration, ETL, data preparation, analytical processing and enterprise solution implementation.
• Experience with SAS Risk solutions, SAS Viya, SAS Regulatory Capital Management, SAS IFRS 9 solutions, SAS Stress Testing, SAS ALM, Kamakura KRM or comparable enterprise risk platforms.
• A successful track record in client consulting, solution advisory, software pre-sales, solution architecture or large-scale risk and finance transformation programmes.
• Strong executive communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to turn complex regulatory and technical concepts into clear business recommendations.
• An advanced degree in quantitative finance, economics, statistics, risk management or a related discipline, with FRM or PRM certification highly regarded.
