• Own regulatory topics within the valuation framework (IPV/VA/PVA/PnL), ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory regimes and internal policies.
• Drive the remediation of regulatory matters, audit findings, and control-related reporting obligations.
• Manage relationships across Front Office, Finance, Risk, and Audit functions.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills; able to explain complex quantitative issues clearly to Front Office, Finance, Risk, and Audit management.
• Proven track record of building and improving control frameworks and influencing change in a dynamic environment is preferred.
