PURPOSE OF JOB

The Director, Head of Portfolio Management G7 is responsible for the oversight and management of all liquidity and market risk embedded in the EBRDs balance sheet.
This is a key role responsible for the largest market risk positions in the Bank and requires significant and broad expertise across financial markets, macro-economics, and financial policy matters.

The role also manages the dynamic management of the duration of capital.
As the key derivatives expert within the Bank the Director is also expected to be involved with the relevant trade associations (ISDA, ICMA, AFME, etc); and importantly to understand the exposure mechanics and lead the negotiation of counterparty agreements and the various valuation adjustments (XVAs) associated with trading derivatives bilaterally. The Director will also be expected to be familiar with regulations around Risk Free Rates (RFR), Dodd Frank, & Mifid II, as they affect the business and the underlying market structure.
The Director needs to understand and manage both the core position of the EBRD’s balance sheet in terms of strategy and financial risk, and to be engaged beyond the Bank to steer in the wider regulatory and policy context.
