Vice President – Job Description

About Us

Founded in 2008, we are an independent specialist advisory and consultancy practice delivering prudential risk management and regulatory reporting services to banks and investment firms.

We assist clients in conducting ICAAP and ILAAP, preparing RP and SEA, defining risk management frameworks, preparing for prudential regulatory change, reviewing regulatory returns and preparing regulatory reporting guidance notes, and building stress test models.

Our k-alm® tool-kit is a highly customisable solution that focuses on asset and liability management, stress testing, funds transfer pricing, and IRRBB.

We’re on a mission to improve the long-term sustainability of our clients by using intelligence, insight and expertise to empower them to meet prudential regulations and make smarter risk management decisions. Having a 30% share of our target market of small and medium-sized banks gives us a significant advantage, and a unique view of market best practices.

We don’t just have deep knowledge of prudential regulations; we know how small and medium-sized banks can meet them in a considered and proportionate way to efficiently utilise capital and liquidity resources. We’re on a bold mission and we’re driven to deliver on it every single day.
