    • Evaluate the accuracy of the end-to-end process that is executed daily to generate various measures of market risk exposure for a portfolio of financial instruments. Evaluate that accuracy for the individual components that this process relies on (data systems, analytics systems and models implemented in those analytical systems), and the accuracy of the integration between those components.
    • Evaluate third-party economic driver models, financial instrument cash flow models, analytical systems and data systems to understand the differences between proprietary and third-party models/systems.
    • Apply advanced skill, knowledge, and/or experience in translating complex business requirements into new proprietary modeling requirements for both economic driver models and financial instrument cash flow models, and into new implementation requirements for the analytics systems that rely on those models to generate measures of market risk exposure for a portfolio of financial instruments.
    • Generate user acceptance test analysis results before proposed enhancements to the portfolio market risk exposure measurement process are adopted, to ensure they meet business needs. Make recommendation to business users on whether to adopt or not to adopt such enhancements.
