Job description

A regulated financial institution is seeking an experienced Market & Liquidity Manager to help strengthen balance sheet management, liquidity oversight, and market risk capabilities.

This is a confidential search for a professional who combines technical expertise with strong commercial judgement and enjoys solving complex financial challenges in a dynamic environment. The successful candidate will play a critical role in helping the institution navigate changing market conditions, maintain a resilient funding position, and support sustainable growth through disciplined risk management.

The Role

Financial institutions operate in an environment where market conditions, funding dynamics, and regulatory expectations can shift rapidly. Effective balance sheet management requires both rigorous analysis and sound decision-making.

As Market & Liquidity Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing liquidity and market risk frameworks, delivering actionable insights to senior stakeholders, and ensuring the organisation remains well-positioned to meet its strategic objectives under a range of market scenarios.

You will work closely with treasury, finance, risk, and business teams to support decision-making through robust analysis, meaningful challenge, and a deep understanding of balance sheet dynamics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Monitor and manage liquidity risk across the institution, ensuring adherence to internal risk appetite and regulatory requirements.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain liquidity risk methodologies, monitoring tools, and reporting frameworks.
• Lead liquidity forecasting, stress testing, scenario analysis, and contingency funding assessments.
• Assess and monitor market risk exposures, including interest rate risk and related balance sheet risks.
• Provide analytical support and recommendations on funding strategies, asset-liability management, and balance sheet optimisation initiatives.
• Prepare risk assessments, management reporting, and presentations for senior leadership and governance committees.
• Identify emerging market developments and evaluate their potential impact on liquidity, funding, and risk positions.
• Partner with stakeholders across Treasury, Finance, Risk, and other functions to strengthen risk management practices and support informed decision-making.
• Drive improvements in risk measurement, data governance, reporting capabilities, and control environments.
• Contribute to the continued development of risk frameworks, policies, and governance standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Business, or a related discipline.
• Significant experience in treasury, market risk, liquidity risk, asset-liability management, or a related banking function.
• Strong understanding of financial markets, liquidity management, balance sheet risk, and regulatory requirements within the banking sector.
• Experience conducting stress testing, forecasting, and quantitative analysis.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with the ability to translate complex information into actionable insights.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional certification such as CFA, FRM, PRM, or equivalent.
• Experience supporting asset-liability management and treasury decision-making.
• Familiarity with risk systems, financial modelling tools, and large-scale data analysis.
• Demonstrated success in enhancing frameworks, controls, governance processes, or reporting capabilities.
• Experience working within a regulated financial services environment.

Why This Role Matters

The decisions made in this role influence how the institution manages liquidity, responds to evolving market conditions, and supports sustainable growth. You will work on complex issues that require both analytical rigour and practical judgement, helping leadership navigate critical trade-offs between risk, funding, and business objectives.

This opportunity is suited to individuals who enjoy taking ownership, challenging assumptions with data, and raising the standard of risk management through thoughtful execution and continuous improvement.
